These were fitted in a Strat I bought recently. Curious as to what model they are. Wondered if anybody could help? Thanks in advance.

The brown color of the wire indicates that this is plain enamel wire (polysol coated wire looks reddish in comparison). Together with the handwritten DC resistance values this could be an Irish Tour set.

Cheers Stephan

Thanks Stephan.

I wrote the resistance on there actually. The seller did say he thought they might be Irish Tour pickups but as the bobbins weren't grey bottomed I wasn't sure. Thank you for the reply. I'm presently trying a different drop-in in that guitar (CS Josafina) but I'm not hearing the tone in my head (do we ever...?). I'll make a fresh drop-in with the BKs (old one had 300k pots and no cap for some reason) and give them a proper go. All the best.
