what pickups am i using.... (luke 1)

[walleye]

im mainly concerned with the neck and middle pickups. the bridge is an 85 ive been told
but i assumed the SLV model dates back to the Luke 1s, but im lead to believe that the SLV pickup is a new development. Would anyone know what the old luke 1s would have in the neck and middle positions, or if they are indeed SLVs?

Thanks

The Luke 1 had SA-57 pick-ups which, I believe, were the custom wound
single coils Luke had been using for years. These were changed to the SL-V with the
Luke 2.

I don't think so. The SLV appeared with the Luke II the first models were uncovered (you could see the pole piece) but to keep the look and feel with the 85, EMG added the cover

I think those used with the Luke I were SA pickups but maybe modified (I'm not sure)

I'm looking at one right now and just as Dcareaga stated they're SA 57 in the neck & middle in the Luke 1
