clue on alleged Gibson slugs-only zebra humbucker?

[therica]

I'm looking at a Gibson patent-stamped bracket with dual zebra coils, NO adjustable posts, 4 thin white magnet-strips, reads 9.28k

Each coil has 3 round holes on top- end (copper wire visible), and between 1-2 and 5-6. Coil wires are each black & white.

Did Gibson actually ever make a slugs-only humbucker?

I know the humbucker on my Gibson Nighthawk was slugs only, so the answer to your question is "yes, but..." :laugh2:

SUPER, thanks, at least there's some hope yet-- or we've both got Mighty Mute Super-Studs heh............ :smack:

Hmmm... checking the Gibson site for current specs-

http://www.gibson.com/products/strings/pickups/hawk.html

"Both the "Classic Hawk Plus™" and "Super Hawk™" pickups feature adjustable pole pieces,........"

Maybe I need to find more vintage info on the Nighthawk..........

It is probably some sort of Stag Mag type pickup. I don't have a name for you though. The Nighthawk has slanted coils, does it have that?

Man I need to find me a Classic Hawk Plus! I've never seen those around anywhere.

Doesn't have the slanted coils, nope, finally figured out that difference vs the Nighthawk. I'm trying fo figure out if it's just non-Gibson coils mounted on a Gibson patent-stamped bracket, probably not Stag Mag, those studs stick up, don't they? These studs are flush-down on the coil surfaces, thanks for calling yet another "distinguising category" to my attention!

Looks like the studs are original (not adjustable-pole replacements etc.), looks similar to Mighty Mite Super-Stud but there are too many differences to be one of those, either.

Yeah, I was just saying a Stag Mag type- meant to be split and sound like a Fender single.
