The humbuckers say MMK and 45 on the back... can anyone tell me about these? Original or not?   Mr_Roadstar (Mr_Roadstar) Posted on Monday, March 10, 2003 - 12:43 pm:    I suspect the guitar has been modified. The hum/single/hum pickup configuration is not stock for an original ('80-'82) Blazer. The later "reissue" models from the '90's did offer that setup. Can you provide the serial number and/or a photo? Super70's were the humbuckers used on the originals. I'm not familiar enough with them to know what markings to look for. Perhaps one of our esteemed "experts" can shed more light? Cheers Steve   Lusn (Lusn) Posted on Wednesday, March 12, 2003 - 6:16 am:    It is an 82. I will post a pic later today.   Tim_Gueguen (Tim_Gueguen) Posted on Wednesday, March 19, 2003 - 12:36 am:    MMK45s are Matsumoku made pickups, or at the very least pickups used in Matsumoku made instruments. So obviously they aren't stock.   Lusn (Lusn) Posted on Monday, March 24, 2003 - 6:31 am:    Thanks!   Tim_Gueguen (Tim_Gueguen) Posted on Friday, May 16, 2003 - 12:02 am:    Just as a trivia note I lifted the pickups out of my Aria Pro II TS-300 Thor Sound when i was changing the strings recently and it has MMK 45s in it.
