Is this a old PAF?

Thanks everybody!
We can close this, I'm going to have it checked out!

I would put it at a 1965 Patent number PU, just before they went to the the T-Top. short magnet, poly-wire.

It appears to have the orange poly rather than purple enamel wire, making it a patent number non t-top pickup. You could verify this by looking at the lead wires on the bobbins, a PAF will have two black ones, the later PAT # will have one white and one black. 1965 would be my guess also. Still a very valuable pickup.

Thanks! Now I'm going to have it checked out here, just to be sure.

That coil wire rules out a PAF. So need to go crazy researching. The bobbins have no T-tops so it's between PAF and T-Top as already posted.

Now you're sure. If someone tells you otherwise, they are lying or don't know their stuff.

Thanks, my friend still wants it, what will be a good "friend" price?

Those are coming up pretty fast in price. anywhere from 300-800 bucks
