What are these pickups?

[jyster]

Hi,

Can any of you tell me what pickups I took out of my 2001 LS90Q?
They have a sticker with LP-AP, Japan stamped and a grey and black wire.
I had assumed that they were mkII.

Thanks for any information.

These are the same as the pickups fitted to my guitar and i've seen pics on the forum of other guitars with the same pickups. I assume they are MK2's made by Gotoh (Gotoh is also marked on them along with "made in Japan". I know the newer MK2's do now have the braided cable though but these may not be the same manufacturer.

Why did you take the pickups out, I think they're great.

I found the neck to a bit muddy and the bridge a bit 'harsh' for my liking. I put in a set of Gibson burstbucker pro's, which suit my sound better, just personal preference.
