[Sigmania]

And anyone know what magnets were used in each of these?

 

[Sigmania]

Pair of Tokai 57 PAF pickups pulled from a 1983 Tokai LS-60 Les Paul that was a professionally repainted and fully relic'd including all parts, the pickups started out mint and relic'd to look well played.

My el cheap radio shack meter reads...

Neck 8.02k with 15" lead wire
bridge 8.10k with 9-1/2 lead wire

They are excellent Gibson PAF type pickups.

The pickup with the sticker stamped LP-A F is the neck pickup with the green wire the other is of course the bridge pickup.

Found this thread on these:

i have just installed these replacing the gotohs pictured in my op.

they are excellent . a huge improvement over what i am now convinced were MKIII Gotoh pickups.

these labelled LP-A R and LP-A F read around 8k both pickups whereas the ones labelled LP-F(F) and LP-F-R read around 8k at the neck and 11k at the bridge.

the new mkII pafs are more open and woody with no mud. fantastic !

I guess my LS92's pickups were also Mk IIIs then.

They measure 10.8kOhm Neck, and 11.2kOhm Bridge.

They look like the ones that were in my 2009 LS-90...i?m sure that they were not the stock pickups in mine...they were soo muddy that i replaced them with a set of Burstbuckers(I & II).
Now i can?t be happier........btw.

Cuando la compré además de las originales de la guitarra, venía con unas Seymour Duncan Zebra SH2 y SH4 que cambié nada más recibir y al ponerlas en el golpeador les saqué unas fotos ya que no sé si son las MK2S de Gotoh que me dijiste, ya que éstas llevan el cable vintage.
