In July 1961 Gibson standardized the PAF construction process with the introduction of the SG model. With this, smaller Alnico 5 magnets became standard. [6] Transition to a new start lead location and a more formal number of wire winds was also introduced, leading to pickup DC resistance to center around 7.5kΩ. [6]

Pickups come in different types: Single coil pickups: One coil "listens" to all the strings.
This pickup is, however, not as short as those found on an ES-330TD which has the pickup mounted flush to the end of the fingerboard. Coils were wound to approximately 10,000 wraps although DC resistance of these pickups can vary greatly Volume and tone controls were 500k Audio taper pots.
