How to ID some non-Duncan pickups?

[Chris Pile]

I have a set of GFS humbuckers with chrome covers and black rings. The designation on the label looks like a KQ, with P-6 written in ink, and a round green sticker with RoHS.... These are not the plug in versions - they look like Gibsons with shielded cable.

Also have a Bare Knuckle humbucker - was told it was a Nailbomb. No cover, no sticker - just the logo embossed in the plate. Know a good way to be sure?

Finally - a humbucker with gold cover, told it was a Gibson. I'm doubtful, but the stamped numbers are 0 2.737.842, with an ink stamp 1 684.

Any clue, guys? Hope to list these on eBay this weekend, unless someone here would like them.

Google says this image is from a 1984 gibson studio standard, is this what yours looks like?

No idea on the GFS, you might be able to ID the BKP by the poles and ohms, but I don't know of a way to be sure what it is.

Pictures and resistance readings would help.

OK - PIX!

I'd say the gold one is a Gibson. I can see "PAT" under a glue smear...
Bare Knuckle - black coils, no cover...
GFS is pretty visible...

The Gibson should be a Shaw area Humbucker from June 1984. For the BK you need a resistance reading. Them same for the GFS.

GFS ones potentially have their K readings on them.

No meter, so no reading on the Bare Knuckle.

7.6K neck and 8.6K bridge GFS humbuckers would probably be these.
