Pickup ID please.

Anyone have an idea of what this might be? It's reading 13.68 .

Thanks.

Looks like a stag mag on a replacement baseplate, or a homemade stag mag hybrid of some sort. 13.68 is low for a Stag Mag though. Are the poles magnetic, or is there a magnet under the bobbins?

Not sure. I'll have to ask, its for sale online. Probably can't tell from the picture, huh?

The seller says he thinks its an old Super Distortion, but I don't think so.

it seems an old superdistortion. But I have a couple of doubts: I have never seen any SD without the little holes on bobbins, and the DCR is exactly the nominal value indicated on the dimarzio site

Yeah, the 13.68 is spot on, but the missing holes are what leads me to believe its not a SD.

Measure the polepiece spread. If it's 50mm or 52mm, then it's most probably an OEM of Asian origin.

No holes in bobbins, and no stamping on the base plate.

Just zoomed in. - you're right couldn't be stag mag. Looked like solid poles on my phone before. Now I can see they are adjustable allens.

Yep, my call would be it's probably an Asian SuperD copy.

Re: Pickup ID please.

Looks like a Gotoh or a Matsumoku MMK

Edit;
Ok its neither of those. A Matsumoku would have "MMK" stamped in black, I forgot about that.
And heres a Gotoh, but its clearly not that either...

According to the seller's 1 7/8" measurement, that would be 47.625mm. So its most likely 48mm.

So its most likely 48mm.

Then I can confirm being a late '70s, early '80s OEM p'up of asian origin.

Mighty Mite?

Mighty Mite?

That came to mind, but aren't all Mighty Might's stamped on the baseplate?

 

[dystrust]

Re: Pickup ID please.

My first thoughts were Gotoh / Matsumoku; it could also be a late 70s / early 80s Mighty Mite.

After doing a bit of online research, it appears to be a Mighty Mite 1300; essentially an Asian Super Distortion copy. I wouldn't pay big money for one, but the few that I have played were pretty cool.

Super D would not have black pole pieces, I vote asian OEM Super D copy.
