1972 Maxon Humbucker - Rarely Seen on the Market! These early-era pickups are extremely rare, making them a must-have vintage part for collectors. This is a Maxon humbucker pickup originally installed in a 1970s Greco guitar. The "12X22" stamp on the back indicates it was manufactured on November 22, 1972, placing it in the early, golden era of Greco guitars. Maxon humbuckers from this period came in several grades, such as the U-1000, U-2000, and U-3000. Based on its manufacturing date and construction, this pickup is likely an early U-1000 model. Furthermore, its resistance is approximately 11kΩ, which is very high. This suggests it may be a transitional, high-output type, as standard U-1000s typically measure around 8kΩ. 【Key Features】 * Manufacturing Stamp: "12X22" (Manufactured November 22, 1972) * Resistance: Approximately 11kΩ (Connectivity confirmed) * Thick, resonant sound characteristic of the early 70s * Six pole pieces, original screws from the period * Maxon manufacturing stamp on the back * Ideal for custom builds, repairs, and restoration 【Condition】 There are minor rust spots and scratches due to aging, but connectivity has been confirmed, and there are no functional issues.
