Hi, I have this pickup please help with identification!, Formvar or PE, hand or machine wound, year estimate? It is staggered pole pu. There is a pencil code 65 or maybe 63 May, is not much visible, thanks mates!
black bobbin would suggest it would be very early '64 or earlier, wire color suggests formvar which would be correct for that era. the stagger suggests its mid '63 or newer. machine winding started in '65 i believe

That gives sense, they started to do staggered poles in the end od 63? The only thing that I don't get is that it doesn't have yellow stamp and there is a white pencil code hard to read, 5 -19 - 63 or 65 CT or maybe OCT, which cozld refer to 1965 or 1963, May, or October...i haven't seen code like this and maybe previous owner just added it later....
see the pics above with the pencil code
