I just bought an 08 Custom Player 60's Strat off Ebay and I was wondering if these were real AY signed CS69 pickups. I heard she stopped winding them for the new CP60s strats and that the 08 models had some cheaper copy of the CS69 pickups in the guitars. However in the picture of the guitar I bought, they clearly have the custom shop label, and it says AY and the date on them... but it looks kind of suspicious because the initials don't usuall look like that do they? The Y is usually uppercase right?

Here's the pic of the pickguard in the auction

peoples writing changes all the time and depends on so many personal factors that their impossible to list. They look ok to me. If they sound ok dont worry.

Those are machine-wound and'initialled' by Abigail and are the CS '69 series.
Don't confuse these with 'signed' Masterwound sets by Abby - those are quite rare (1oo sets made) and sets are currently selling for around 700-800 US.
Nonetheless, you have a great set of pickups! Enjoy them.
