1979 Maxon-Made Greco Humbucker Uncovered w/ 7.61k Output


This 1979 Maxon-made Greco humbucker is as raw and authentic as it gets. No cover, no fluff—just open-coil, double black bobbins and vintage windings from one of the most respected pickup makers of Japan’s golden age. Reads a healthy 7.61kΩ on the meter, perfect for creamy leads, warm cleans, or hot-rodded crunch. It’s an outstanding choice for restoring a late-'70s or early-'80s Greco or for anyone chasing that era-correct Japanese tone.

This pickup features original braided two-conductor wiring and untouched solder points. Cosmetically, it shows honest wear with aged pole screws and bobbins that look every bit their age. It’s the kind of pickup that lets the guitar’s wood do the talking, while still packing enough output to push a vintage amp into sweet overdrive.

Need a matching covered bridge or neck partner? We’ve also got a 1980 gold-covered Maxon humbucker from the same family listed separately.
