What kind of PUP is this?

I'm no pickup brainiac, but could those poles be mini alnico magnets?

"This pickup came from the Rickenbacker factory..."

Hmmm....

Do they know that at the factory?

Jeff: No, the poles are U type drive screws just like Rickenbacker used for years on the high gains.

Jerry: Good question.

I was thinking 8 string pickup as well, which is why I did the opening bid. I thought it would be interesting on my 4008 but not at the price it's at currently.

Wow, that did get up there didn't it? Wasn't expecting that.

This is why I only bid on an item twice. Once to start the bidding and let the seller know there is interest, and the second time, a few seconds before the auction closes. Placing multiple bids during the days before the auction closes is like showing your cards to someone while you're playing poker.
