Interesting and rare pickup. There's not too much info out there on this one but I was able to find an article written by Mr. Glyn Pickups (below). S/N: 13003. The first "3" is the year. In this case 1973. This pickup is a humbucker sized single coil. Check out the pictures and you'll see that there's a single coil pickup underneath the humbucker cover. Sounds great. Warm tone with single coil character and chime.
From Mr Glyn Pickups:
This is exactly what was inside – a single coil disguised as a humbucker! So Maxon humbucker? Well, it’s a Maxon but not a humbucker.
It has the typical floppy nylon bobbin I would expect to see in a Maxon but this one is sitting on top of a large ceramic magnet.
So, Maxon humbucker? Well, certainly Maxon but not a humbucker. Beware – not all Maxon pickups are classics.
I’ve had a look on line and can’t find a model number for this pickup. It seems the only distinguishing feature from the outside is the lack of pole screws through the base plate.
