Calling Gretsch experts

Post by Reg18 »

Can anyone identify what exactly these pickups are and how hot the output is likely to be?
I don't know much past standard Filtertrons or TV Jones pickups. These appear to be Bkacktop versions?

Are they likely to fit in my Mini Humbucker/firebird pickup routes?

I doubt they'll be anything to write home about. I was thinking of buying them as donors to be rebuilt for my Anniversary.

Are they likely to be 90s? I know blacktops where on some older 60/70s Gretschs but didnt know they were made in the 90s?

Yes def 90s. 60s/70s Blacktops don't have those kind of pole pieces.
