Offering for sale the original set of Gibson USA-made humbuckers that came in my Epiphone Elitist LP Standard. These are NOT the offshore-produced 'buckers that come in many of the cheaper Epiphones. Here's the description from the Elitist catalog:


All Elitist instruments are equipped with custom-wound pickups “Made in the USA” exclusively for Epiphone by Gibson Musical Instruments and feature such uncompromising features as:

High Quality Cover Materials – All pickup covers use quality German silver with vintage Nickel or real 24K Gold finish.
Full Wax Potting – Every pickup is potted in a special wax bath to insure that microphonic feedback due to internal vibration is eliminated. All covered models receive a second wax bath to further protect the pickup.
Specially Made Magnets – All magnets are magnetized by Gibson to ensure the total reliability of each magnet’s performance. Critical magnetic flux is maintained for the perfect combination of output without sacrificing tonal characteristics.

These are the same humbuckers that powered the Elitist '61 SG to Guitar One magazine's "1 Award":


".....the Gibson-made 50SR and 60ST pickups sound as good as Gibson’s “57 Classic” humbuckers." -- Douglas Baldwin, Guitar One, April 2003

You can read the entire review HERE (http://www.marcondo.com/marcondo/guitar/sg.pdf).

Less than 20 hours playing time on these, so they're essentially brand new. Yours for $75 + shipping (USPS Priority Mail). They'll go up on eBay if I don't sell 'em here....
