What IS this pup anyway?

Ken	What IS this pup anyway? I was at a guitar show last weekend, and I bought a weirdo pickup. It's cover is made of black plastic, it's the same oval shape as a Melody Maker pickup but bigger, no visible polepieces, and has a Gibson script logo across the top. I can't find it in my books. Any ideas? Ken

The Ultimate Tone, Volume III by Kevin O'Connor

Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to build a Bassman, Champ, Plexi, an 800, AC-30, Bulldog or Portaflex? Or you wanted to build an SVT with off-the-shelf parts? How about a master-volume amp that doesn’t change tone with the master setting? Everything you need to know is right here, including: proper grounding techniques, wiring methods, and mechanical considerations. Eighteen chapters cover the “iconic” amps everyone knows and loves, with schematics and layouts for each, along with the technical history of the product. Eyelet-board and chassis-mounted tube socket construction is used throughout, for easy servicing and modding. TUT3 is very accessible even if you cannot fully read a schematic and is a "must have" if you are going to build an amp for your self.

David Schwab	I always wanted some of those Les Paul Recording guitars! It's a low impedance stacked coil humbucker, and some versions have multiple coil taps. http://www.oaktreeent.com/web_photos/guitars_Electric/Gibson_Les-Paul-Recording_Guitar_TW_collage.jpg Here's THE man himself with one: http://www.redhotred.com/images/july_16_2001_recording_guitar_copy.jpg
