Uncle Lou here; and you're viewing an original Gibson double black PAF pickup from 1959 as used on Gibson Les Paul standards and other Gibson guitars of the era. If you know ANYTHING about high-end vintage Gibson guitars & parts, you'll know PAF's are the most sought-after vintage parts in the vintage world today. It's in very nice shape, has the 'L' tool marks on the feet, long magnet, and nickel pole pieces but no cover. It has a hot reading of 8.5k ohms, near-perfect decal with only the tiniest chip, and the lead wire is long enough for either position on a Les Paul. Please ask all reasonable questions before you bid, I will not accept returns. PayPal is the 'eBay preferred' method of payment, but please make sure your shipping address is confirmed. I also accept 'payment on pickup' as well which saves me the risk & hassle of shipping. Domestic shipping & handling is free for 'Buy It Now' bidders, otherwise it's a flat rate of $10. International shipping & handling is set at $40. For those of you who need more visual stimulation, I have giant sized photos that I can e-mail you, but please don't waste my time or yours; serious inquiries only...no tourists. I've got lots of other parts, visit my website and contact me for more details. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
