Thank you for posting clear pics here, though. It helps us keep track of the fakes out there, and will help others if they are researching what they have or are going to buy.

Hey Everyone, This is my first post.
I wanted to get some info about these pickups. I like '83 Strats and these were in one I recently picked as a new project. I assume they are pretty old, most likely from the '80s.
I know the bucker is a Pearly Gates, but I know nothing about the others. I was looking to get a value as well as any info as they are most likely for sale unless you guys convince me I should hold onto them. Thanks
One other question, In the not too distant future, I am planning to build a dual humbucker Warmoth VIP (PRS style body), with the "Wood Mount pickups."
Would this Pearly Gates work in that body? It was mounted to a strat pickguard when I bought it.

Welcome to the forum.
Looks right to me. My 2012 / earlier pickups have that typewriter Courier font. My 2016 / later pickups have more of a Times Roman font. I don't know what year they changed it. Everything else looks legit also. The baseplate, screws and solder on the cover are just like my gold SH-14.

Yep, bad news: No Duncan in the neck
Good news: The single coil is a USA Fender American Standard Alnico V middle pickup
