G&L does not offer their G&L P90 and G&L Alnico Humbucker pickups for sale.akai_fr wrote:Hello people !

One solution is to have a pickup supplier custom wind both pickups like G&L does in house at their factory.
The Fallout neck pickup is the G&L AP4285B and the bridge pickup is the G&L AW4470B.
See this post for the specs: List of pickups used in G&L guitars.
Another solution is to check eBay for G&L Tribute Series Fallout pickups.
There is atleast one seller who sells parts from psrted out G&L Tribute Series instruments.
Hope this helps.

The Tribute Series Alnico humbucker pickups are built to G&L's specification at the Cort factory in Indonesia. See this reference post:akai_fr wrote:Hello !

List of pickups used in G&L guitars
Check the DC-R spec of the pickup with the G&L AW4470B in the reference post to see if it is approxmately the same as the one in the chart.Author: Craig [ Tue Dec 05, 2017 11:03 am ]
Post subject: Note About G&L Tribute Series Guitar Pickups
-The Tribute Series instruments (including Limited Editions/Exclusive Models) 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.
Note: Most of the Tribute Series MF/GC Exclusive Models have pickups which are made to G&L specifications at the Cort facility in Indonesia, see: 2015-present MF/GC Exclusive Tribute Models.
Hope this helps.

Here is a web page with a write-up on a large variety of G&L Alnico humbuckers with pictures of their front and back. Many have the G&L logo stamped on the back plate. But about as many do not, and that even includes one recently hand-wound by the G&L Custom Shop! So the absence of the G&L logo is not necessarily indicative of it not being a genuine G&L pickup. However, the AW4470B seen among the pictures does have the logo.
You should certainly follow Craig's suggestion to measure the DC-R value of your pickups. All you know is that by virtue of the 'R' on the back plate, it is intended to be a bridge pickup.
