One of these things is not like the others... remember that Sesame Street song? (Thanks to them for this photo of the Cookie Monster)...But I bet you can't tell which one it is...(see the photo that is not the Cookie Monster).
The pickup on the left is an exact copy of an early 50's Tele/Esquire pickup... the one on the right is an actual early 50's Tele/ Esquire Pickup. The copy was made by Illusion Pickups... 6.5 Ohms, constructed the same way Fender did back then, 1:1 reproduction parts, including Zinc coated baseplate. They also warn "Please don't purchase this with the intent to sell as original vintage to unknowledgeable buyers". Are you "knowledgeable"... probably not... unless you really know a lot about pickups... give that copy to a professional, and have them "age" it with some dust and dirt... and scratches, and you might end up paying $1000 or more too much for the copy... meanwhile, you might still enjoy getting one for $94.99 from Illusion Pickups.
... and if you want the real thing, make sure you know and trust the seller...completely... whether you trust the blue guy above or not to make the choice for you, that's up to you.
