Help with ID

[DalyTek]

I am looking to buy a (used) bridge Holydiver pickup and am a little confused as to how to identify if it's the correct pickup.
The one I am looking at has the braided 2 conductor wiring, and all the other Holydivers I see are 4 conductor with the black plastic wrap.
The resisitance is ~15.2K if that helps.

Thanks for any help!

BKP offer the Holydiver (and all their humbuckers as far as I know) in either braided or 4 wire format so you could get a Holydiver with braided wire. The main site says that Holydivers are around 15.9KΩ but they do vary a bit from individual pickup to pickup so the one you're looking at is in the ballpark. There's nothing about what you've described that says it definitely isn't a Holydiver.

I just double-checked with the seller, and he is certain it is the Holydiver.  Based on the info he provided and I got on the BKP site (as well as your input, Andrew, thanks!) I went ahead and bought it.  This is my first BKP, and I researched and listened to lots of tone samples before deciding this is the pickup for me.

The impedance can vary quite a bit.

the dc reading will vary even in the same pickup with the same multimeter
I had a cold sweat that eventually read around 14.3k, but sometimes it would read up to 15k
the holy divers I had were usually around 16k, but they also would should a bit less or more sometimes

Tell us your impressions on the pickup when you get it installed and have had some playtime with it.
