Can anyone help me identify my SG's neck pickup? The first two pics below show the underside and top of the pickup. I'm including a pic of the bridge pickup because I am quite sure it is a Gibson Dirty Fingers which is original to the guitar, because the SG Exclusives came with cream pickups. You can see it has screws on both coils, whereas this black neck pickup only has them on one coil. Otherwise, I would have assumed this was a replacement Dirty Fingers for the original which perhaps went bad.

:confused:

Correct...it's a Gibson T-top. One of those pickups that you couldn't give away 20 years ago that are now deemed "special" because they're supply is drying up as wannabe collectors try to restore 70's Gibsons (as if they're worth something beyond a very limited number of pieces).
 
Ha... Well I think both pickups are forgettable. Maybe they'll sell at a decent price once I inevitably replace them.

Exactly. They are treble machines. :aww:
