Thunderbird pup

(1/1)

Freuds_Cat:
OK I am a novice with the whole Gibson pickup thing. Can any one explain what this is about?
It looks like a split  P bass pup under a T-bird cover.

 That is an "early" post '88 production pickup quite different than the present ones.........Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I'll likely bid on it!   

Freuds_Cat:
feel free Mark.  What difference in sound did these make?

TBird1958:

Hard to explain, but I like them a little better than the contemporary one. The treble side is a bit better but not harsh.
