I have a Sierra Crown series uni that I bought used. It came with three pickups, and I want to make sure I know what they are. I'd especially like to know which are humbuckers and which are single-coil pickups. Here's the first one:



I think it's actually two pickups in a single case, and I suspect it might be the original pickup from Sierra. On the bottom side, somebody engraved "15.5-23.3-3".

Here's the second pickup:



Engraved on the bottom of this one is "L 912", so I assume it's a Bill Lawrence 912 pickup. Is that a humbucker or a single-coil pickup?

Finally, this one:



The cover, which has come off, says "DON LACE SENSOR", so I assume that's what it is. Again, is it single-coil or a humbucker?

Thanks,
John

The Lawrence 912 that I have is a full humbucker with the coils mounted 90 degrees from the norm...the coils face each other with the magnets in the center. It's a pretty "hot" p/u...don't know the impedance.

Thanks, Paul. After more searching I finally found out for sure that the L-912 is a humbucker and the Lace Sensor is a single-coil. The one I'm still curious about is the first set of pictures. It sounds like a single-coil to me, but it would be nice to be sure.
