Can you identify this one ??

[Eddie_4191]

Hello everybody !

I found this pickup in a second-hand shop, and I have two questions about this one.

First, what is the model of this pick up ? I think that it's a AHB-1 Neck, but I'm not sure of that ...

The differents numbers at the back are (I updated pictures):
I0N09 1N
BLACKOUT 20080714



Moreover, the wire that we can see on the pics... they are the wires to connect the pickup by welding, and not by the quick connect ? (it's what I think, but again, I'm not sure...)

Thank you in advance !

Eddie.

Yeah it's a Blackout neck version as far as I can tell.

Maybe the other forum members can tell for sure since the sticker on the back does not mention the current code for the Blackout neck, which is AHB-1N.

It's a really early Blackout Neck; I'm not sure if the current ones still have both the regular wire and the quick connect.

This is correct. They do not.

I have one of those. Got it in a guitar trade. It's one of the early Blackouts. New ones only have the quick connect.

Hi! The I0N09-0000 job order number refers to a Blackout HB neck produced in 2008. So definitely an early version of this pickup. Enjoy!

Can you elaborate on how you read that code please?

*edit: I was going by the code you quoted, then saw the picture with the Blackout200807014
So most likely July 14, 2008... I was scratching my head trying to figure out how you came up with 2008 from the IONO9-0000....

Theres a few of these on reverb so they are out there, but not common. I think it was more of a transitional thing when they went from the original LiveWires to the then current Blackouts, which were within a few years of that one.
