avengers63 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 We all know that I like the quirky old stuff. I put in a low bid on these pickups on a lark and ended up winning them. Does anyone know what they came from? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Foreigner Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Does anyone know what they came from? some sort of guitar, I'd say. Sorry, been a long day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Might be homemade. God...2kohms, 4 alnico blade magnets? Must sound like shattering glass, or like nothing at all... Not even danelectro would make something that insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I think they look pretty damn cool. Stick 'em in a big woody hollowbody and twang that thang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokee6 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 If they're plexi sealed, perhaps a Dan Armstrong or one of the licensed copies?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarteck Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Look like 1 of the pickups that came in a Gibson maurader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Look like 1 of the pickups that came in a Gibson maurader thats the one, i originally thought S1 pickups which have plexi tops and a bar polepiece so looked for those - forgot about the marauder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avengers63 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 KICK A$$!!!!! I landed some 70's Gibson pickups for $15.25 shipped. God bless eBay!!! Drak: I was planning on trying my hand at a full-blown acoustic archtop this summer. I was originally thinking to put two of the Teisco pups I have in it. Maybe these would be a better fit and save the Teiscos for a semi-acoustic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I've been planning a ~modified~ acoustic archtop for awhile based on an 'I can't tell you' guitar. ...maybe we should have a summer competition 'AA' throwdown... ...I love me some Throwdowns... Anyway, those pkps look verrrry nice, great score if you can surround them with the right guit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 still something odd about yours john. you seem to have one that designed to be angled and one thats designed to be straight. I know the marauder had one angled single paired with a humbucker - but i am wondering if gibson actually did a model with two of these pickups in. it would explain the pair you have. Obviously they could have been ripped from two seperate marauders and be natural manufacturing variance but my guess would be that these came from the same guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
