  1. I feel utterly stupid now … I used a cheap digital caliper which of course had an offset of roughly 1.5mm (facepalm) … so the pole spacing does seem right, though the cover is still wrong. Since I can’t delete the post and hide my shame - I’m still wondering why the ohm readings are so far off. I usually see people report readings around 7.x K for the classic and roughly 8 K for the classic plus. Is it common to have these differences of 0.5 - 1K?
  2. Hey folks, I’d be incredibly grateful for any help identifying these pickups. I bought them used on eBay roughly two years ago - listed as 57 classics and 57 classic plus. Since the seller had entirely positive reviews I did not give it a second thought, especially since both were shipped in the original case, had brass screws (at least I read that it’s common feature) and the PAF sticker. Since I wanted to add a cover now and read that there’s only the 49.2 mm spacing, I blindly bought a set only to find out it does not fit. The pole spacing of my pickups is an unexpected 47.5mm… I should’ve done that right away but I also measured the resistance and the neck pickup reads 8.2k and the bridge 8.9k … Well I also found out that you can buy decals of the PAF sticker … so I feel a bit scammed 😞… yet I’m still curious what kind of pickups I bought. Someone with an idea what these might be? (Oh and don’t mind the fresh solder … I did it while trying to install the covers) thanks so much in advance!
