Hi all, I got a pickup in a box of bits the other day and was wondering if anyone recognized it, as I have no clue as to what it is! It's a very vintage style strat pickup, with cloth wire and vintage staggered polepieces. it has a sticker on the back which appears to say "1B" or "1R". I don't think it is a Fender one but was curious to see if anyone on here knew what it was. Here are some pictures.

Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Thank you.

The font on the printed sticker looks Japanese.

Beyond that, I couldn't say.

Hi Arjay, thanks for the reply. That's a good point, something I hadn't thought of. Do you think it might be Tokai or something? If it is Japanese that is.

Thanks again.

David.

After some searching online, I think that this might be an old Seymour Duncan ssl-1.

It is. The "R" is the initial of the person who wound it.
