That particular guitar belongs to Eiji Shima (Yuzo Kayama, The Wild Ones) and the Moseley trem is not original. If that photo were higher res you would see the outline of the original folded trem where the finish has yellowed.

I'd sure like to know the specs on those pickups. output level, construction inside, etc. from the bottom it leads one to think it's not too different from a typical mosrite single coil, but how knows.
