Super 70s pickup alternatives

What's Hot


Dug out another project guitar which I need to get sorted while in lockdown. 

It's a 70s Japanese ibanez 355  copy, really well made with a set neck, correct Headstock etc but missing sadly missing its pickups .

Originally I think it would have been fitted with a  set of super 70s pickups but they have long gone. 

Any ideas what would be the closest in spec to the super 70s or can recommend good set for a semi   .  

Being a 355 copy  it's has gold hardware so they really would need to be gold ( more worn the better) or nickel.

Thanks

    If you want something that sounds and looks “as it should” then you’re probably going to have to talk to one of the be-spoke specialists to have them make something one-off.  Ash @OilCityPickups is normally the man for that sort of thing.
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.
