Hello,

does someone know the brand or anything else about this pickup?

I bought it together with lots of other broken pickups, some working some not.

This one is quiet unusual, it has two coils. It has 5 conductors, green, white, black, red and a not isolated ground wire. DC-resistance is 16.04 kOhm both coils (green/red), 8.06kohm upper coil(red/black) and 8.03kohm lower one (white/green). The upper coil has staggered 0.193'' diameter magnets, the lower coil non at all. I don't know, if this makes sense . I never tested this pu in a guitar. I think, they gone lost . Another detail is the metal plate on the bottom/sides of the upper coil, it looks as if it was glued to the top of the lower coil.

I will be very happy about any information about this pickup,

best regards
Till A
