Well, each of them came in a Gibson 57 classic clear plastic box and the gentleman I got them from was playing a beautiful red 63 335 for me. Here are pics of the pickups. I believe he kept the original covers for his 335 and put the gold 57 classics covers on these. I traded a pellet rifle for them. You think I did okay?
Only the one is stamped "PAT NO 2,737842" the other seems to be ink stamped "Pat Pend" or "PAT SEND" and underneath that "NO----faded 99" he wroted in blue in Red and then something else I can't make out. FWIW, the 63' 335 was beautiful red with white binding with a Bugsby tremolo. Looked like it just came off the showroom floor. Really nice guy.
Which one of these would you use for the bridge and which one would be used in the neck?
