Thanks Peter! Can you tell what year was it made? Between the "Made in America" stamp and the 4 conductor wire?

probably 80's is about as far as you can narrow it down.
At last IMO. someone that knows more than I do will chime in... I remember seeing those tags. Who knew! LOL

Yes, that is "a real APH-1 pickup by MJ"
There is no way to determine "what year" from the baseplate. The baseplate has the same imprint as the current ones, making it "more recent" in the scheme of things.

it's pre-rohs.
So it's at least 10+ years old I'd think.
Probably late 80's early 90's.

Because it predates the RoHS sticker that all since being in conformance receive.

Definitely early-mid 90s since it has short legs and the printed label.

A word of advice: NEVER doubt hamerfan about Duncan p'ups.
His knowledge on the subject is several times greater than the whole dirigent class of the Duncan Co put together!

Yeap, it's a real Aph1. You can read interesting research about Aph-1, Pen-2, and Nicastrin at ncbi

Haha, that's a good one! I deserved it :bigthumb:
Basically I would just like to narrow it down to year that's all.
