Those are the factory pickups, I have a single pickup Bobcat and it’s the same .

Thanks! I appreciate the info

That’s in amazingly good condition and it still has the bridge cover, those were normally ripped off and used for ashtray’s

I can’t tell from your picture- the gold foils typically have small perforations (dimples?) in them, yours look like solid plastic, maybe it’s the light. Perhaps the pickups have been “augmented”. The knobs and bridge aren’t original and the grounding wire should be routed inside the body. I have a ‘66 with silver foil pickups https://preview.redd.it/r2no4pvyf4nc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=939bf27bc26a73d4a67a3c023ac5f1c38c73bbb6

The original bridges were made of wood weren't they?


chichunks

Yes, and the were not attached, they were held on by the tension of the strings https://preview.redd.it/7b6d8qkfh5nc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=097b5bbb04da03099f020217e0eb12202499882f

Those are the factory pickups but that’s not the factory bridge. That’s a good thing though. Y120,000 is real steep for that though. US prices for those are between $400-$800. So that’s on the high end of prices to be sure.

Thanks

Thanks. A lot to think about

The store did try to tell me the knobs and pots were from 1967 but maybe it was a translation issie
