Anyone have any info on the pickups in a 1993 "57 reissue strat?
What are they and what were they modeled after?

The older 57/62 Reissue pickup is wound with 42 gauge plain enamel to about 5.8k. My understanding was that it was originally based on the early '70s pickups used by Eric Clapton in his "Blackie" Strat. Not sure really how accurate that is, but at lest they would have been wound with enamel an likely pretty close to 5.8k, or maybe slightly less.
