Okay so yesterday I got a wild thougt to take the pickgaurd off my just purchased 60s classic player strat. When I get it off The pickups hadthe initialls AY and then a date, I guessed that that meant Abigail Y'barra but I'm not sure, most of the ones I've seen say abby not AY. as I understand i she signs some types and initials others what is the difference?

PS will post pics later, not cause its neccisary, but because everybody loves a little under pickguard pics. Thanks again



Oh and 2 other one questions, are they these? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ ... sku=301637

I like the thought of having 220 dollar pickups, especially considering I payed twice that for the whole guitar new... well 540 so not quite.

and the other question is when I looked at them some were dated 06, but one was dated 04... that seems kinda odd to me that they're 4 yearls old already, and even more wierd that hey would be 2 years apart... anyways

Thanks :D

I'm not positive, but I believe that over the years that "AY" could mean that she wound them or that she just checked them to be sure they worked.

Not to be a bubble buster but you have regular CS '69 pickups, which are what the specs call for. The Abby masterwounds are signed versus just initialed and were made 6-8 years ago. Yes they are the pickups from the MF link you posted, great pickups don't be disappointed, awesome guitar and finish choice. To have such a legend even touch your pickups is a blesssing.

Here's a pic of real Abby's from previous post
