Any current pickups similar to a Gibson T-Top?

[Stratosphere]

What aftermarket pickups are available to get a sound simllar to a set of old Gibson T-Tops? I believe they were 7.5K, both neck and bridge.

I was thinking maybe of a pair of Dimarzio Virtual PAF DP196 (neck) pickups as they are 7.96K?

Maybe you can find a set of used T Tops on ebay.

Aside from that, I'd say a 59 set would get somewhat close.

T-Tops are gettin' up there in price.

To get a similar sound you want matched coils at around 7.5 to 7.7k and Alnico 5. Potted as well.

The T-tops were standard at 5000 winds per coil. Basically they are exactly what the humbucker was designed to be. I don't think there is any difference between them and the Pat #'s that preceded them. Same wind same magnet, just has a T on the bobbin.
