Anyone recognizes this P-pickup?

[SurroundedByManatees]

Anyone recognizes this pickup? It came to me in a Nate Mendel. It's clearly not the OBP-3 that should be in there, but I have no idea what this replacement is.

Pretty sure it's a genuine Fender pickup. The cloth wires, raised pole pieces, the small circular indent between the two centre pole pieces and brass plate look like Fender CS 62P to me.

Agree. I had one. are there any codes on the top of the bobbin? Ie under the black covers next to the pole pieces ?

Wouldn't a genuine Fender one have date stamps on the bottom?

Mine had only bobbin codes

they were geddy lee pickups

Not so much the modern replacement sets. There's loads of photos online of the CS 62P pups with plain black undersides. See Thomann for instance.

Thanks for all the responses, they are very helpful. I haven't checked the top of the bobbins, I'll see if they say anything.

Nope, no markings to identify.

CS 62P; there's a few clues to identify.

Perhaps from a pre 2012 US FENDER before they added CS pups? Therefore no markings

My pickup has bevelled pole pieces which I don't see on the CS. 

 

Perhaps it's an "original".

The OBP-3 is a preamp made by Aguilar, not a pickup. 😉

Looks like a Fender Original to me. Used to have one. Good pickup.
