Seriously, I guess it was mea culpa that I did not mention the word Telecaster in my original post ( I took it for granted since this is a Telecaster discussion). Cool username!Ĭlick to expand.Telecaster? Stratocaster? Did I mention I was a bass player?
With those drastic differences in DC resistance, it should be a piece of cake distinguishing which version of Hwy 1 pickups you have. On mine, the bridge measured around 6.4k and the neck a little over 8k. The early version has the same pickups that were and still are the stock pickups in the '50s Classic MIM Tele. I measured the DC resistance on a set of them in a new version Hwy 1, its bridge was 14.5k and the neck was 11k. You can of course swap out the 8-hole for a 5-hole, if that's your concern.Īs boris noted, the newer version has hotter pickups. I asked here and no one reported having a Hwy 1 with a 5-hole pickguard stock. I remember seeing that stock Fender picture back then, and then seeing pictures of real ones owned by TDPRI members and one example in a store, all of which had 8-hole pickguards.
