Description

1950's Vintage Gibson P90 Pickup's Matched PairI bought these years back from a retired guitar tech. He had them for years and he was liquidating and retiring. (Tough to find a pair... usually singles) When I got them the braided lead wires and the screw on that side were pulled (probably by the tech) and used elsewhere... so each pickup had 1 original baseplate mounting screw with lockwasher per factory... which are included in sale... They presently have replacement screws (same exact size) lock washers, and a solder ground post to solder new braided lead ground (leads not included)Large sand cast magnets and double black lead as well as 'blued' base plates indicate mid 50's...Black and Tan grommets used in 50's... I have seen tan on a '54 setThe output levels are perfect, and matched perfectly, if looking for the complex harmonically rich tone the mid 50's P90's are known for... Original covers includedMy assessment of these vintage pickups are my own from research, from the information the seller rendered, and, owning a number of these pups including a set in my '56 standard Gold top... this to the best of my knowledge... you make your own determination based on photosAsk Questions
