Looking for something with a similar output to the Gibson 500T that I have in one of my guitars.

Do you know what Jacksons came with the J90C and if they still make that pickup? The reason I ask: a long time ago I had a San Dimas built RR Jackson from 1986. I never knew what model of pickup was in it but it was a good one for sure.

Good luck on your J90C quest!

EDIT: After looking around a bit I'm pretty sure this is the one I had. From what I could find it looks like 80s to mid 90s with a couple variations starting in the 90s. It looks like the 80s era pickup without the jackson logo is the most popular of the variations.

They were made in-house at Grover Jackson by a couple of ex-Fender employees including Abigail Ybarra from 1985 to early 1992 when Jackson and Charvel switched to shitty import pickups.

Does anyone know who the J92C and J95C compare? They only made these pickups for about a year.
