Gibson SG Special Mini Humbuckers 1970s Patent Number - Black

This pair of 1970s Gibson SG Special mini humbuckers is a rare and desirable matched set, complete with patent number stickers and original black covers. The resistance readings are visible in the pictures.

These pickups were used on SG Special and SG Deluxe models of the early–mid ’70s and have become sought after for their distinctive clarity, tight low end, and articulate midrange response. 

Both pickups retain their factory wiring lengths and original construction, making them ideal for vintage-correct restorations or for upgrading a modern SG-style guitar with authentic 1970s Gibson character. These units show light cosmetic wear consistent with age but are fully functional and sound fantastic.
