´Hi, I´m new to the forum and this is my first post here.

I bought a set of Custom shop fat 50´s from a big, well known and respected online dealer in Europé. I got the pickups, but on the back of the box the stated specs don´t match the specs on Fenders website or any other website for that matter. On the back of my box it says that the bridge pickup has a resistance of 6.0k, but it should be 6.2k. The other pickups are given the correct value. This seems wierd to me, the box looks completely legit. Any ideas as to wath might be the reason for this? Are there different models of the fat 50´s?

Thankful for any help in this matter...

Apparently the Fat '50s have undergone some "specification drift" of late -- there are several threads here regarding the phenomenon. I bought my set some five or six years ago and all three pickups had DCR measurements that mirrored precisely the data published on Fender's website and elsewhere.

Ok, thanks for the reply. Thething is, I didn't measure the pickups, the specs are on the back of the box they came in. It says that the bridgepickup is 6.0k. Might just be a mistake...
