What pups are these?

[Artie]

They clearly aren't classic Tele pups. Maybe except for Jerry Donahue.

G&L MFD pickups, apparently. Jumbo ones (?).

They're playing G&L's, and I believe that they made a custom John Jorgenson model guitar and pups to his specifications...

Not sure these Jorgensen PU's differ from the MFD Jumbo PU's mentioned in my first answer...

You're probably right freefrog, upon actually READING the article I linked, the customization was sparkly paint, not pups...

Thanks guys. This is why I love this place.

And love that clip.

Jorgenson's a really interesting player, who's had a REALLY diverse career. I first saw him playing in a bluegrass band at Disneyland in around 1980...
