visual differences in neck and bridge?

[aescully]

I recently had my pickups changed out and now no longer have the need for the old pickups, and I am planning on selling them, unfortunately I am not sure which one is the neck and which one is the bridge (humbuckers) is there any way to visual differentiate between the two?
Thanks for your time!

If they're otherwise identical, sometimes they'll have a sticker on the bottom (not sure if Seymour Duncans have them), or you might be able to tell judging by the length of the leads (eg, for a strat, your neck pickup will generally have a longer lead). Personally, I'd just buy a cheap multimeter and check the DC resistance.

The bridge unit it slightly wider than the neck unit. Measure the width and whatever is slightly wider should be the bridge. THis is because the neck is at a slight taper, as are the strings, as it heads from the body to the headstock.
