Yes, exactly - I'm not sure if there is a difference between the MKII and MKIII's.The MKII pickups in ATO’s LC60 read very close to the MKIII in your TSG50.
I wonder if they are the same pickups?
ATO, do you have a picture of the top of your pickups showing the pole pieces or are they covered?

It's very true - DC resistance doesn't tell anything about the sound, and 2 similar spec pickups can sound very different.I had some of the PAF MKII pickups in a 1983 LS80 that I really didn’t bond with. In my opinion, the tone was kind of nasally, not full or balanced.
I wish there was a way to easily graph this stuff so you could see the tone of each pickup and compare them. Because just measuring the resistance, doesn’t really tell you what it sounds like. I think pick ups can read similarly and sound very different.
