    Like 7k iirc on old black plastic bobbins with twin ceramic bar magnets on the bottom magnetizing pole pieces

    Compare to "authentic" traditional Fender single coins, which use fiber baseplates, 5-6k winds, and magnetic AlNiCo pole pieces without bar mags

      My neck & middle read 6.6K; bridge reads 6.9K.

              With such pickups, DCR readings are misleading anyway. As they have steel poles instead of AlNiCo mags, they have a MUCH higher inductance than regular Fender single coils. I remember an inductance around 4H on MIM PU's tested here a long time ago: that's twice the inductance of a Fender CS69, for example (and it's even stronger than underwound T-Top's) ... Hence the darker tone of such MIM Strat PU's.
