help identifying some late 70's Greco pickups

[stinkfeet]

HI everyone,

I got some pickups from my brother out of his recently purchased Greco Les Paul. I don't know the model or exact year of it, only that it's probably like a '77-'80 and that it was one of the nicer ones they offered. the pickups have a what I think is a plywood spacer in between the bobbins and a regular-sized magnet, with large diameter screws that don't go through the baseplate. One measures 8.13k, the other measures 8.19k, so I think they are both the same model.

No pix of the bottom of the baseplate?

Here's the bottom, it has no markings or anything on it

greco made good guitars, but i dont think their pups were anything to write home about. dont love how off kilter the black bobbin is on one of those pup.

Could be a Maxon, but can't say definitively.

Yeah, I was really hoping I would get lucky and miraculously get myself some super 70s, but it seems like I'm not that lucky. I haven't tried them yet, though, to see how they would sound. I would assume from the time period they were from that they would be Maxon, but I've never seen anything quite like these.

Ask over on the Ibanez Collectors World forum.

I'll give that a try, I haven't found a single picture of pickups similar to these on old Reverb listings yet.
