Just so I know I'm not crazy, but the middle pickup isn't a reverse wound pickup on the '69 Custom Shop Set?

I took the pickguard off to wire up the bridge pickup to the 2nd tone control. I noticed these pickups were intialed and dated by Abigail Ybarra. However, does this mean she actually wound them or just signed them?

Her initials mean she supervised their winding on that date. Her outright signature means she wound them herself.

I figured as much, but at least I know she touched them... They have been blessed by the holy grail maker of Fender pickups!
