Curiosity Thread: Vintage 59

[Andrew Lamprecht]

I have one of the earliest 59s from Seymour. It is unpotted and wound by MJ. It's bridge position, double black. No mods to it except there is a little solder on the back from a cover that was put on and removed (by me). How much do you think this would be worth?

Don't know what that means but if you are willing to pay $9000, I'll gladly sell it to you haha.

I know it is just a pickup and i know people always ask if this MJ wound pickup would be worth more but this is one of the early ones before they were potting them, Im just wondering if it would be worth a bit more.

I'd guess $50-75

There is a double cream one, as old as yours on another forum I visit priced at $100 but it's double creme and FWIW, he hasn't been able to sell it yet at that price.
