This stock Tele (2000) pickup sure is high output ! ?

[alanfc]

...I think.....
Its just as overdriven as one of my LesPaul humbuckers through my tube amp,. Although, the previous owner has the treble side as high as possible without touching the strings. Amazingly this sounded oK live/loud.

But,with
all the searching I could not find any notes on magnet type or output rating/DC resistance for these. Just the bridge, 2000 MIM Tele.
Its got the plastic bobbin (?) with the overhang and its poles are flat. Any idea? I may keep it but I'm just curious. Could these have been hot as stock back in 2000?
thanks
