Is there a way to tell what's in my '84 Zum? I think the guy I bought it from said it had a Wallace in it, I don't remember for sure. Sorry if it's in the archives, I forgot to search first.

Howard, Jerry Wallace puts his label underneath his pickups. You can remove it and check for a brand. If you can post a closeup photo we might recognize what it is.

Thank you Jerry. I did not want to remove the pick up, since it works now, no telling what would happen if I fooled with it. According to my little meter the resistance is around 17k ohms, if that means anything.

The best way to find out; is take a picture of it and show it to us.

Took the picture, now if I can figure out how to post it. My wife knows but she's working twelve hour shifts for a while so I'm on my own.

| On Bruce's pickups, especially an '84 model, the area around the magnets will be completely black. On Jerry Wallace's pickups, he "countersinks" the hole slightly around the magnet and you can see a layer of white next to the magnet. |

Howard,
That sure looks like an Emmons pickup to me.

I believe it is a stock Zumsteel pickup.

| It could be a Zum or Emmons. They both have that black and white layered top piece. It doesn't look like a True Tone to me though. |

I've had the guitar since '86 or '87, my memory must have been wrong. I've given some thought of going to a d-10 and if I sell this one I wouldn't want to misrepresent it. Thanks to all for your help, and for the emails too.

Howard, I am pretty sure thats one of Bruce's stock single coils..Mine and Bruce's look very simular except Randy is correct about the white ring around each magnet where I counter sink it a bit..
Emmons stock single coils have a 90 degree edge on the top plate where mine and Bruce's have a beveled edge.
Also I use a 1/8"{.125"} top plate where both the Zum and Emmons use 3/32" {.093"}

I guess you can trust Jerry Wallace regarding a Wallace pick up.  It sounds sweet now, I wonder if a TT would brighten the mids for me?
