Original late-’60s Gibson Patent Number humbucker, carrying the familiar Patent No. 2,737,842 sticker and the correct braided single-conductor lead.

Meters ~7.5kΩ, putting it on the clearer, more articulate end of the vintage Gibson spectrum — excellent note separation, airy highs, and a woody midrange that stays honest when pushed. Gold cover shows real-world wear from decades of use, not a relic checklist.

This is the pickup era that quietly powered a lot of records — no hype, no mythology, just a great-sounding Gibson humbucker from the right period.

Correct. Original. Late ’60s through and through.
