Suhr Pickup Era differences

[guitarslinger]

Okay, so the Jan' 08 Premier Guitar spoke of a time when John and his wife were handwinding the Suhr pickups.

Any way to tell these apart from the normal ones around today?

One of my many Suhr pickups has triangular mounting tabs instead of square? Might this be an indication of when it was made?

EDIT: I'm a dumbass and had the two words switched.

bump for edit's sake. I had the words switched around.

I have one suhr pup with triangular mounting tabs. Is this one "vintage"??

The triangular base is for rear-rout top-mount guitars (non-pickguard guitars). I'll check with John about the history as that's going back to before I started working at Suhr.
