Watching this video last night and that is a heavy sounding Strat. Is that zebra pup a Gibson?

Impossible to tell without a screwdriver. It could be made by anyone.

Both of these are Gibson Pickups

I think it´s safe to say Mick played always and will always play Gibson T-Top pickups.
The Suhr Aldrich has more output(well...) but it sounds very close to the original T-Tops.

Cheers,
Robin

Hey....I've got 4 Gibson humbuckers in my Highway One Strat HSS's and they sound GREAT!!! The cross pollination works extremely well!!
I've got the 498T,490T, 57 Classic Plus, and BB3 in mine and they all ROCK!!
I hear you on the price of Gibby's! I'm dying to get a Les Paul.....but the one I want is almost 3 grand!!!

Despite Gibson reputation and expensive guitars, I do believe they make some of the best humbuckers out there. I've used several types of Seymour Duncans and I keep going back to Gibson Burstbucker Pros... They just sound perfect to me.
