 what pickup is this ??? My 1951 Epiphone Broadway has a floating humckucker pickup, looks really old/ worn. Does anyone know the brand and model of this pickup ? It has braided metal wire like Gibson would have, but no polepieces so it is not a Johnny Smith. It measures 14,7 kOhms output and sounds great. The tone pot has 1972 on it, so I guess the pickup is from around that time. It is definately not a newer item. The volume pot sais Dimarzio and has a 1980 code. I emailed Dimarzio but they say they never made anything like it.       |

 Check the original and modern american pickups on this link. They all have polepieces but yours does not. Going by the age of the pots your P/U could be generic japanese of the 80's or 90's. ac accessories |

| I already found it; it is a very 1st issue Gibson BJB. After Johnny Smith left they recreated his pickup but without the polepieces. same thing they used late 60s/early 70s on the Super V, LeGrande, Citation, Kalamazoo award etc. Last edited by fws6 : 07-12-2010 at 04:02 PM. |
