1982 Maxon Japan "Dry Z" / PU-2 Humbucker

1982 Maxon Japan "Dry Z" / PU-2 HumbuckerSeemingly a one off pickup made by Maxon in 1982, this hex pole humbucker features both the iconic "Z" ink on the back along with a "PU 2" stamp on the back along with a 1982 date code. This was likely wound for a very specific one off build or could be factory sample pickup for testing, it's guaranteed to not have been rewound or modified and is 100% genuine and all original. Measures a hot 14. 53k on a multimeter and has around 15cm of lead left.

this one has seen plenty over it's lifetime but is structurally solid with no signs of any breaks or repairs anywhere to be seen
