I have been researching putting in a new neck P/U and 500K Pots as advised, as well as a Seth Lover or SD '59. I happened to purchase a new notched bridge and decided to tear into that, but something told me this store had not sold me a new Tribute. Took off the pick guard and found a G&L model on P/U Tag PTP6042-GL/LP-CHM-4P4. I have the pickup list but not sure what this pick up is? Chrome case appears to have been opened once and not a real great solder job. First back to ground zero, I am going to install new bridge and look for Pick up # and hopefully with your help I can identify the neck P/U which works, but really sounds muddy. This # P/U shows up on Reverb and appears to be about 8.4K which it does measure (DC res). Maybe it is an AS4255C !! which is supposed to be in there. Just want to know what I am working with before replacement.

Note About G&L Tribute Series Guitar Pickups
-The Tribute Series instruments that use MFD pickups are the same USA pickups made in Fullerton, CA.
-The single coil Alnico pickups (CLF-100) used in the Tribute Series Legacy are also the same pickups used in the USA Legacy and are made at the Fullerton factory.
-Other single coil Alnico pickups, humbuckers and P-90's used in the Tribute Series instruments are made to G&L's specifications at the Cort facility in Indonesia.
