Re: Can anyone identify this pickup?
its a 59 neck pup but its possible that the magnet is flipped compared to normal. fender had those made for some HH guitars with a pearly gates + in the bridge so you could get humcancelling with some different split coil options ala prs.
there are lots of bridge pups that will match up well with it depending on what tones you are going after and what guitar you put it in. the magnet is easy to flip back if that becomes necessary

Re: Can anyone identify this pickup?
Thanks for such an informative answer.
I'm trying to fix up a Viper by Bguitars. It's absolute ****, but I figured it'd be fun to make it awesome (if possible). It only holds one pickup at the bridge, but I wanted to install a neck pickup and switch.
Wanted to see what sounds the pickup was made for before getting a bridge pickup to match.

Re: Can anyone identify this pickup?
It's great!!
I got everything soldered in last night (replaced all of the electronics) and got it intonated and all today.
It's awesome.. on clean, it does nice, full chords with a nice boost to the bass coming in.
On dirty, this thing is heavy.. sounds like I'm doing rhythm metal with my old settings. A little too heavy for my tastes, but dialing back the bass and adding just a tiny bit of treble and this sounds better than the bridge pickup on my nicer guitar.
