Hey guys!
I just bought a used Epiphone Sheraton from the 90s which had its pickups swapped. The bridge pickup was unlabeled on the front so I checked the back and found a "Patend Applied For" sticker there. I was very suspicious as to whether or not this pickup was a real Gibson pickup at all, let alone an old one with an authentic decal. I read some articles and FAQs, but I simply do not have enough knowledge about these pickups - but you guys have! Could you give me some hints about what this pickup is or maybe even confirm it is fake from just the pictures? Sorry about the bad picture quality, it does not show the clear edge around the black decal that well.
Many greetings from Germany and have a happy new year!
