I purchased three SG's to get an Iommi SG P90- not the $40k version that sells for $28k but the $2000-$2500 version.
I am looking at it and I have a very bad feeling that between the serial number and the "for sure those are Gibson Iommi P90's" that is lacking when I search the stickers on the back of the pickups-
I think this is a 2019-20 minibucker leftover SG that was converted to P90's and that is the best case scenario, worst case is that this is a minibucker SG converted to P90's using a Chibson as the parts donor.
The guitar in question is not something I can show right now because me even questioning the provenance could cause me some serious backlash worse that $2500 down drain.
If anyone knows of a link where I can put in a part number on a pickup and see if it is a factory Gibson pickup, please let me know.
If anyone owns or owned the "citizen" version and they ever had reason to dissassemble and photograph, I would be eternally grateful. Again, I am talking about the cheaper Iommi P90 SG sold by GIBSON WITHOUT Monkey sticker and it retailed between $2000-$2500.
If the story that is being fed me is a true story(and it is plausible) then I need to seal the deal on this guitar. If I can verify that the printed sticker with what appears to be a PN(one for bridge and one for neck) on the pickups is bogus, that is enough. If there is a place online to enter a Gibson part number and determine if it is real, let me know. Thus far googling the numbers on the stickers on the back has nothing come up.
I am not trying to be vague or cause drama, I just am in a bad spot and if I can find out before Monday and Gibson opens, that helps. This is a case of he who hesitates loses, while at the same time, it is also a case of "Gibson didn't return my call on Thursday or Friday even though I own a stupid number of SG's and I am really upset because I HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION.
NOTE: I AM WELL AWARE THAT THE $2500 IOMMI P90 SG DOES NOT HAVE JOHN BIRCH PICKUPS.
HOWEVER THE $2500 MODEL WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE P90 PICKUPS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HOTTER THAN USUAL P90's and VOICED LIKE MONKEY.
JUST BEING CLEAR HERE.
Sorry for this being first post. I will make an introduction.
