Re: "Different" looking neck pickup on a 1965 450/12
It is odd that they didn't return it.
When I took my '71 Les Paul standard (the '54 reissue with P-90's) in to the same shop to have the tuning keys replaced, they pointed out that the replacement could hurt the collection value. I didn't really mind, I wanted to play it; besides, I had already ...

Re: "Different" looking neck pickup on a 1965 450/12
Thanks for the replies and the welcome.

As you can see, the bridge pickup has the familiar Toaster look, but the neck pickup has the toaster slots divided into two sections, and there are rivets on the pickup cover.
I haven't been able to find a picture of ...
