Already posted this on the MIK stamp thread, probably applies here too. I recently bought a Tokai Les Paul MIK, pretty sure it's an ALS48 VF bought in the UK so an export model as indicated by the dimple in the headstock. First Tokai I have bought and very pleased with it. Previous owner had swapped out the original pickups with a couple of unknowns, sounded OK but lacking something, sparkle? Better tonal response? So I replaced them with a couple of Gibson Burstbuckers 1&2 pulled from a 2021 Gibson Les Paul and they have brought the guitar to life. I'm including a few pictures of the pickups that were in it, perhaps someone can help identify them? On removing the cover from the neck pickup revealed it to be a Zebra, the stamp on the back was N-10, the DC resistance was around 10k. No idea what it is. The bridge pickup was not a Zebra and had a stamp FC-50 on the back, (FC = Filmore Classic). I have sort of identified this as a copy of the Duane Allman pickup modelled on the pickup he used when recording the Live at The Filmore East album, probably manufactured in China. The DC resistance is around 12k.
