1980 Maxon-Produced Greco Gold Covered Humbucker w/ 7.95k Output

Here’s a genuine piece of golden-era Japanese craftsmanship—a Maxon-built humbucker originally made for Greco guitars in 1980. This pickup features a gold cover with just the right amount of age and patina, oozing vintage appeal. Whether you're restoring a late-'70s or early-'80s Greco LP or looking to upgrade with some real-deal tone, this one brings the goods. Smooth and rich output measured at 7.95kΩ, with the kind of clarity and midrange punch Maxon pickups were famous for.

Underneath the cover, you've got original braided two-conductor wiring and vintage bobbin construction that delivers warmth, dynamics, and sparkle—perfect for classic rock, blues, or roots-driven tones. This is the real-deal tone source that helped define an era of Japan’s guitar golden age. 

If you’re looking for a matching mate, we’ve also got a 1979 uncovered Maxon humbucker from the same era available separately. Check our other listings to complete the set.
