No idea where or when I got this thing, but it "looks old". Wax on bottom of brass-ish baseplate is all crackly.
Identical baseplate hole pattern/spacing to a new TB-4, as well as an old 80's Gibby Dirty Fingers, and a recent ('90s-'00s) Gibson of some sort.
Grey soft rubbery cable with a red wire, white wire, and bare wire inside.
With either red or white paired to the bare, I get a reading of about 12.8K
Red+White I get nothing.
Red or White alone I get nothing.
One row of screws that stop just before the baseplate, one row of slugs that stop at the same point. The slugs are of a bigger diameter than the TB-4, and look about the same as the recent Gibby (DF has double-screws).
Trem-spaced (odd, given the apparent age IMO) slugs & screws, but standard-spaced bobbins (!)
Small square hole on the top of each bobbin near the very edge, inside a round hole. Holes are only on one edge.
On the Duncans and Gibbys, these holes are on the bass side, about 1/8" from the edge. As the pic shows, these are smack on the edge. Only pickups I have with these square-in-round holes are a couple of mid-90s Jackson pickups (JH-1 and JH-2), however, the baseplate holes of the Jacksons do not match these holes on both coils (only the screw coil does - slug coil side has only the retaining screw holes).
As well, on the Jacksons, these holes are on the Treble side (as can be identified by the placement of the Jackson logo).
The holes between the outer slugs are actual holes, as on the Gibbys and Duncans. On the Jacksons, they're simply dents (one is burgundy, which makes it easy to see that it doesn't penetrate).
Any ideas?
