Spoiler pickup possible switch
« on: October 02, 2012, 02:23:15 PM »
I bought an 83 Alembic spoiler, and bothe pickup covers look identical except the neck cover doesn't say Alembic.  Is that normal becaus the covers look identical and it doesn't look as if its been replaced, or has the unthinkable happened and the previous owner switched pickups?

Mine are the same way, I believe they are still authentic! Anyone able to verify this?

I think they started putting the Alembic name on the pickups in '84, earlier pickups have nothing on them.
If one of your pickups have the name on it, it was probably replaced.
