This is my first time building a guitar. I am putting together a Strat ffrom a collection of Fender parts I obtained from various sources.

The pickups I'm going to use are CS 69 vintage pickups. The problem is that they are not labelled as to the position (neck, mid, bridge) that they go in.

Are they all the same?

Is there an easy ID for which is which?

Please help!

I believe they are all the same as long as none of them are reverse-polarized like most modern strat middle pickups. If one is reversed I guess it would go in the middle.

Measure the output in Kohms and put the one with the most output
in the bridge position.
If they come with different lenght of wires put the one with the shortest
wires in the bridge.
Standard fender pu's have roughly the same output so you can put
them anywhere. Overwound/hot pu's are used for the bridge.
