Is my Alnico Pro II pickup neck or bridge version?

[MrEzzyE]

I got an used Alnico Pro II pickup. The sticker has been removed. Is there any other way to find out which one I have?

If you have access to a decent quality meter, you can measure its DC resistance.
The bridge version should measure around 7.85k ohms.
The neck version, around 7.6k ohms.

The problem is, with anything less than a "lab-grade" meter, that degree of variance could be within the meters own accuracy.

Perhaps, someone else will have a better technique.

.25? Kinda makes you wonder if there's any real difference at all.

Well in the old days there where none actually.

I have a set of the APH's, and there is a definate difference in the tone between the bridge and neck. DC resistance is the best way to tell.
