Vintage tele pickups? Pup ID help

Any help IDing these is appreciated.

The guy I got these from said they are from his stock custom shop tele ( Ltd edition 64 custom shop 2009 ) which he is the original owner of, and that his model according to fenders site says it had a twisted neck and nocaster bridge. And that is what these are. These are obviously not a fender twisted tele neck and nocaster bridge.

The bridge pickup has no number code underneath the base plate. It does have a strip of masking tape under there.

I could be wrong, but to my naked eye, the neck pickup appears to be on the taller side. Roughly 19mm from top to bottom as far as height goes. It has darker color coil wire. Also, it appears to have a very faint hand written 63 written on the bottom bobbin. Look closely and you can see it. At least I think that is a 6. The 3 I am pretty confident is a 3.

Plastic leads on both.

Neck 5.5k
Bridge 5.9k

Thanks again for your time and help






 
Re: Vintage tele pickups? Pup ID help

the darker color wire is probably plain enamel, since the resistance is in that range id assume #42. those are pretty low winds so should be bright and spanky sounding. it could be a twisted tele neck since those usually come in a little under 6k but i dont think the bridge would be a no-caster since the old ones were close to 10k and the new ones are 7+k
