Hello everybody...
I've just purchased this zebra T-Top in pristine condition...there's 2-3 things that make me rather curious though.
only one bobbin has the T on it, it has short legs (all my other t-tops have long legs) and the tape around it doesn't look like the tape around my other t-buckers.
there also seems to be some layer of copper/schield foil around the bobbins under that black tape (that might have been added later though, which would also explain the black elec tape).
the DC Resistance reads the correct 7.48kΩ.
The seller claims it came out of his 1978 Les Paul (which he also bought used though, so noone knows if the pickup actually came stock with that LP).
I then took the tape off to check magnet, spacers etc...
There's a short but really thick magnet and another smaller and even slightly shorter one right next to it, two plastic spacers and black and white leads.
I'm really quite confused what kind of pickup this is to be honest.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Lasse
