That is an 80's '59 bridge model wound by Marciela Juarez.

Re: humbucker

yes
two rows of screws ?
no shielding on conductor wire and only two wires
is it real?

Re: humbucker

Huh, I didn't notice that. Is there any way that you could get resistance readings off of both coils? It could be an attempt at a homemade '59 Custom Hybrid. I don't think it's fake, but it looks like it's probably modded in some way.

Re: humbucker

Is there a green and white wire that have been cut off I see there under the black?

Re: humbucker

If it's just that the leads have been screwed up, Duncan will put on new ones for like $40 or so.

Re: humbucker

The screws that secure the bobbins to the baseplate are missing. Given the dual rows of screw poles, this is probably an attempted hybrid gone wrong.

I'd pass on it, personally, unless you already own it? If so, how good are you with wiring/soldering?
