Congrats, its a nice guitar. I had a modified 1982 Elite, they are soild players. Its surely a 59B. These stickers were mainly for identifying who made the pickup. Maybe Pattie, she‘s mainly doing stacks and rail pickups, had to help out in the humbucker dept. and had no 59 sticker with her...

Pearly Gates bridge with an A6

It sounds you like underwound A2 pickups like the asymmetrical wound Bareknuckle Stormy Mondays. Cleans starting at 3:00.

The answer lies in your question: Look into the RTM pickup (Warren DeMartini Sig pickup, a JB type with an A2 magnet) or a JB with a swapped in A2.

Never used the Ampere settings, but my new (used) DMM reads capacities, inductance and tests transistors.

Long shot but, If its OEM, it could be 59 bridge Model as neck pickup in that guitar.

Always tape off the wooden parts and use a small magnet for cleaning up, when you use steel wool.

All my humbucker strats use a 500k vol pot and no load tone pot or a switchable tone pot.

The Mix should add a little extra volume but not too much.

Yes, 1983 to 1987

No, you should hear now a single coil if you are on humbucker. You have to swap only 3 leads to get it right.

At mid 70ies you could not order pickup making parts from a online store like today. My guess is that Seymour used parts of dead pickups and did rewind these in the 59 style. So maybe the first Jazz was a T-Top, maybe the JB a jazzed up older Gibson pickup.

I have it in a strat and love it, super versatile in parallel with a push/pull pot, but i still have an Alt8 in the drawer.

I own a Gibson R8 and a Tribute 50 in cherry sunburst. The Tribute is similar to the 58 Reissue but has even more shoulder. This is why i stripped the back of the Tribute‘s neck and scraped the shoulders to a thicker V neck. That means the thickness more or less the same, but the shoulders are...

Never heard of 7 string fakes. The roundish tab looks like on other 7 string duncans. I say real.
