just bought a 1990 OBG and was wondering if anyone can verify what pickups are in it

they seem to be the original pups and are stamped PAT NO 273784 on the base. are these USA Gibson? if so what type? they sound great btw!
thanks dave
 
Hi, I am by no means an expert but here is what I know.

If the PU has a "pattent applied for" decal, it is most likely a '57 classic. Other PU's used were the Gibson Bill Lawrence "the original HB-L models but only during a limited period, I think late 80's and they are easy to recognise..

My ObG came with the "pattent applied for" decal..

The PU that you mention I know nothing about...

Perhaps you should rest in the fact that they sound great coz that's all that matters, isn't it? :lol:

Hope this helped.

Regards,

Joop
