Members ashtray Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 So I acquired a set of Fender pickups that my buddy had laying around. (traded me some bench time for the pickups, as I restring/set up/mod a bunch of his axes) Anyways, I'm trying to figure out what they are. The pickups are Fender single coil Stratocaster pickups. They have grey bottoms (light grey?), and black and white cloth (wax cloth?) leads. NO numbers stamped into the bottom of the pickups. They are staggered pole, and have beveled edges to the tops of the pole pieces. FWIW, they have no markings to identify them as Fender or not, and have white pickups covers. (under the cover, the coil wire area is wrapped in black, and the top part of the pickup assembly is grey as well) I'm assuming these may be Fender USA 60s RI pickups, but have no way to verify. The pickups have been used, but are in excellent shape with long leads. (nothing to id them as neck/middle/bridge though) I have not put them on my multi meter yet. Ideas?

Members ashtray Posted June 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 Was hoping someone with pickup knowledge would recognize them. People are always swapping pickups - surely this sounds familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wildwind Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 Yeah, it's very familiar, but I have nothing to offer. You may have to show them to an expert, like Gruhn or Elderly. I'm not sure if anyone else could get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
