Used on his Gibson Custom Les Paul in the early 80's

He modded them to distort by winding them more so he wouldn't need a distortion pedal.

"I've taken some of the old Gibson T-Top pickups and re-wound them to be hotter, probably between 14 and 16 ohm output to drive them more so I don't have to have a distortion pedal. It naturally overdrives the amp and I get a nice fat sound. I've put a Floyd Rose on it as well. I wouldn't need a pedal." - Mick Mars

Vintage Guitar Magazine "They are by a guy that my guitar tech found. His name is J.M. Rolph. He’s from Melbourne, Kentucky. My guitar tech got in touch with him because my pickups were putting out 14k, and he told us he winds them to 16k. So I got a couple of them, and they screamed! So then I got a couple dozen of them."
