Gibson H-90 (stacked P-90) Bridge Pickup from a Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Jr model.
Dog ear pickup style. Works great -- tons of lead left (~ 16 inches!). This pickup is two single coils stacked. Sounds like a hot P90 -- it supposedly cuts down on 60 cycle hum, but I couldn't really tell the difference. It does sound especially good with distortion -- really good punk rock tone. I've just been playing more vintage rockabilly style so going for a more mild pickup option.
As far as I know, Gibson does not sell these pickups separate from guitars, so these don't come up for sale often.
Guaranteed not DOA, but otherwise no returns.
Will ship USPS Priority. Thanks!
Here is description from Gibson:
"Gibson's H-90 stacked double coil pickup is the result of a close collaboration with Billie JoeArmstrong. It offers the snarl and punch of a classic, vintage P-90, but with none of the 60-cycle hum that usually plagues traditional singlecoil pickups. This was accomplished by simply taking two singlecoils and stacking them on top of each other, resulting in the hum cancellation effect that occurs in a regular humbucker. With a few adjustments, Gibson's engineers were then able to secure the vintage sonic characteristics of the singlecoil, making the H-90 another example of Gibson's drive to stay one step ahead."
