80s Gibson Circuit Board Pups - Any demand??

[dewman]

Just wondering if tonefreaks like these pups. I heard some snippet abot Warren Hayes' early tone was due to these but dont know for sure-

if you mean "demand that they get removed and thrown away", then yes.

[dewman]

Yeah, thats why I removed them from my 335. I just heard that they sound good in some applications and I remember that my 335 sounded great with the stock pups when playing slide.

[walterw]

all smartassery aside, the main issue with those things was that the covers always broke loose, rendering them squeal generators.

I had a LP Custom with them. They were very average sounding.

I have an HB-L laying around. They were only made a few years with some Bill Lawrence involvement. I've heard of a few people looking for them over the years, and they are decent sounding. Maybe in another 10-20 years!?

didnt know if they were valuable to collectors or Gibson fans. I have a pair from my 335 that I removed with full leads and was thinking of selling. Otherwise I'll hold on to them.
