my friend has a ‘77 Artisan w the original series VII tarbacks in the neck and bridge and the super humbucker in the middle. Anyway, his bridge pickup is I believe around 16k and sounds so good (I know these used to be almost universally hated). I know these are the predecessors of the dirty fingers, but does anyone actually remake these Artisan pickups with ceramic magnets? Gibson is making some “70s” pickup now that is 16k w an alnico V but I’m looking for this pickup w the ceramic magnets. Thank you in advance
Does anyone remake the Les Paul Artisan hot bridge pickup from 70s

Manilas does a ceramic Tarback:
Perhaps Bill Lawrence's legacy company Wilde run by his wife has the recipe and will do custom orders, I don't know...
Just FYI - I recently bought a 70s Explorer with the newly developed 70s Tribute pickups by Jim DeCola and like them very much.
