Up for grabs is a matched pair of genuine 1975 Gibson Mini Humbuckers pulled from a Les Paul Deluxe Gold top. These are the real deal — With PAT NO 2,737,842 stamp on the baseplate and the Gibson embossed chrome covers, which were only used during the mid-to-late ’70s Norlin era.
Both pickups have the original single braided leads intact and come with their original cream mounting rings (hard to find in this condition). No rewinds, mods, or funny business — just honest vintage Gibson tone with that bright, focused clarity mini humbuckers are known for.
