Just replaced the pickups in a '74 Fender Strat...

Re: Just replaced the pickups in a '74 Fender Strat...

I was surprised at what they measured: 5.4K, 5.5K and 5.6K!

Wow...they look just like the Surfers. Black bass and grey top.

I'm also doing some work on my '63 Strat and measured those too: 6.1K, 6.1K and 6.2K.

They are black bobbins...not gray top and black bottem.

All measured after removal from the guitar.

I remembered them being a little hotter...more like 6.4K. But I was wrong.

Thats strange! I thought that the Duncan chart on the 70's stuff said that the bridge pickup was like 7k or something like that. Guess I'd better take a second look at that chart.
