I bought this one used 15 months ago. Is this Original? I know the pic is not very detailed.


Greetings,

The feet have probably been filed down to fit in a tight pickup cavity - I've done the same myself.

Does it have the BKP script logo engraved on the bottom?

Yep, the Logo is there. I was wondering about the "screws" on the top..I donīt find anything like that on the BKP Page.

Yeah, they do look a little odd.  

BKP do make pickups with the Allen bolt polepieces, but I think they're flat-topped, whereas yours look rounded?  Almost like smaller versions of Duncan Invader polepieces.

Some do or did have the rounded allen blots, but I can't say more than that.

Yes it looks correct
Those are a batch of cap head screws that Tim had for a while
My own Miracle Man from 5-6 years ago has them in it
The feet were either cut down by BKP to go in an Ibanez or Music Man or may have been made like that
Depending exactly on the date of making Tim was still buying in parts up to a certain point and may have bought baseplates with more pointy feet
it was one of the many reasons that Tim insisted on having his own parts made - to get total constancy.

Ah, there you go.  I looked in the Gallery but didn't find that one.  Could even be the same pickup!
