I have a 2005 (or 2004) highway one strat that i bought used. i want to replace the neck pickup which is currently a duncan hot rail and the mid pup is stock. i want to balance the output of these two pups. does anyone know their stock output?

The 2005 Highway 1 spec sheet calls the pickups:

3 Vintage Style Single-Coil Strat® Pickups with Staggered Pole Pieces, Alnico Magnets

I can't seem to find the actual specs for the pickups themselves. Sorry.

They are Part Number# 0054594000 the same pickups and part number used in the MIM 70's Stratocaster the description for that guitar call them the following : Pickup Assy. ,Vint. Strat Mex.(3) for the 05' Highway One they call them same part number as : Pickup Assembly, (3) they dont tell you there MIM.

I have two single coil pickups in my late 2005 Highway One HSS. So they are pre-2006 Upgrade.

They measure 5.85 K and 5.72 K ohms (out of the guitar circuit).

The post-2006 Upgrade pickups are supposed to be hotter, but I've not measured any.

(If you measure pickups through the guitar's output jack, the DCR measurement will be about 2% lower than if you measure them out of the guitar.)
