Need help identifying Airline H46 stratotone pick ups
Posted: Mon Jun 14, 2021 10:25 am
I bought a set of the following vintage Airline pick ups, but I can't find anything about them.
I asume they are mid 60's and come from a Airline H46 Stratone.
I honnestly have no knowledge of vintage Airline guitars, but they don't look like re-issue pick ups to me.
These are the pick ups.
Front;
Back;
From what I can see on the bottom side of these pick ups is that they have an Alnico bar magnet.
I guess these are single coil pick up (as you can see a bit of the coil on the lower pictured pick up.
I could only find the following pic of these pick ups in an actual Airline (although I'm not sure it's a H46...)
on the Audiofanzine website. All other H46 Stratotone's I researched had different styles of pickups in them.
Close up of the pick ups (same guitar) The look exactly the same as the ones I bought.
Does anyone has any additional info on these pick ups? Most Airline guitars had Dearmond pick ups, but I don't think these are Dearmonds.
They look like silverfoils in some kind of Rickenbacker toaster casing...
If it weren't for the pictures of the actual Airline guitar, I would never guessed these are actual Airline guitar pick ups.
I'm also interested in what other guitars these pick ups were used in.
I'm thinking to put these in a Squier Jaguar. (If the pole spacing lines up somewhat)
