Re: need help from some pickup experts

We might be able to help you, but, you would need to take a DC resistance reading on it, and give us the ohms.
From that, some one might be able to figure out what you have.
Just looking at one w/o any markings is anyone's guess.

I reckon that is a DiMarzio. The triangular elevator tabs, the big patent number stamp, the colour of the creme bobbin and the absence of a square hole in the bobbin top all say NOT GIBSON.

EDIT: For what it is worth, although the patent number 2,737,842 was registered to Gibson, it is no sure fire identifier of a Gibson pickup. Famously, the number is correctly attributed to the floating tailpiece design of the earliest Les Paul guitars. More Ted McCarty trickery! You've gotta love the guy.

Dimarzio's were what the Axis SS came with.
