Hi,

The '69 has a pair of single coils and the '72 a set of Wide Range humbuckers.

Pictures are welcome.

Regarding the pickups, the new 'reissues' aren't the same as Seth Lovers' originals that used CuNiFe magnets.

A few pickup makers make replacement Wide Ranges with CuNiFe, Fender had recently put a huge deal of effort to revoice the humbuckers for Sonic Youth guitar slingers Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore.
