QR Code Link to This Post
Had Jimmy Gravity of Gravity Strings in St. Louis look at the pickups to verify:
Conclusion: the Brydland is a 1967 and the pickups are a PAF and a PAF patent no. ie vintage. Did not open up the pickup covers..as everything seemed to match up vintage wise. Verified the year using serial number/specs and Gruhn's (TN) dating book.
PS F plugs not included.
Neck pickup PAF: Gibson used the PAF (patent applied for sticker) on guitars from late 1956 until late 1962.
Bridge pickup PAF: with the patent number from 1963 to 1967 when the T-tops came in.
Was thinking of installing linear pots for tone control but when J. Gravity here is St. Louis looked...and tested the pots - all is well, good sweep on both tone controls and all the pots (volume and tone) are original (all encased in metal so no serial nos. can be seen as was standard for this 60's period). Caps are original.
Price reflects these valued pickups...more pics contact me.
Put the tape measure at the edge of the bass side pickup pole screw for the neck to the edge of the pickup cover...2/8"
Put the tape measure at the edge of the bass side pickup pole screw for the bridge pickup to the edge of the pickup cover...2/8" ... should be a neck rhythm PAF pickup.
