Epiphone Elitist (Gibson) 50s Gold pickup set 50ST/50SR 490T/490R Alnico 5 humbuckers

Just pulled this set of Gold Epiphone (Gibson) 50S pickups out of my Epiphone Elitist Byrdland.  Set includes the 50ST treble pickup and the 50SR rhythm pickup. These are an excellent PAF humbucker pickup using the Alnico 5 magnet. They are made in the USA and modeled after the 57 Classic but some say they are like a 490T/490R set.

The patina on the pickups is pretty good, there may be a few nicks and/or picking scratches. They look cosmetically good and sound great. 

The wire/cable for each pickup is about 11". Comes w/ black mounting rings and long gold middle screw for adjusting the pickup height. I don't have the 4 screws for the mounting rings.

Here are some specs from the Epiphone Elitist guide:

The Elitist Pickups
All Elitist instruments are equipped with custom-wound pickups “Made in the USA” exclusively for Epiphone by Gibson Musical Instruments and feature such uncompromising features as:
High Quality Cover Materials – All pickup covers use quality German silver with vintage Nickel or real 24K Gold finish.
Four-Conductor Wiring – Allowing for all possible wiring combinations.
Full Wax Potting – Every pickup is potted in a special wax bath to insure that microphonic feedback due to internal vibration is eliminated. All covered models receive a second wax bath to further protect the pickup.
Specially Made Magnets – All magnets are magnetized by Gibson to ensure the total reliability of each magnet’s performance. Critical magnetic flux is maintained for the perfect combination of output without sacrificing tonal characteristics.
