I just purchased a 1980 Gibson SG in which the prior owner had installed these pickups. He thinks it was about 1986 when they were installed. I've measured both pickups at around 10.2 K (through the guitar cable). I'm not seeing a model # anywhere.
Can anyone help with identifying these?IMG_0343.jpg

Although 10k is a strange number for an Alnico II Pro.

That much is true, but theres so many variables that go into a traditionally manufactured guitar pickup (pretty much anything that isnt fishman fluence lol). I just cant think of anything else they could be. Long legs, 4 conductor, no label, put in about when slash used an a2p set on appetite...

No, unfortunately.
I just got this from a guy off craigslist who had a tech do the work in 86, who probably kept and sold them I would guess.
I will say that I've been playing this thing all day and the output seem higher than the SD-1's I have in my Ibanez, really driving the distortion pedals into new areas for me.
