Going to try and gather pictures of the various single coils over the years.
Would love to collect output values as well.
GRAY backed single coils:
E marked, black & white cloth wire (ST60 and above 1978) ~ 5.7 - 5.9k Ohm
U marked, black & white cloth wire (ST50 1978) ~ 5.9 - 6.5k Ohm
Unmarked, black & blue plastic wire "SS Super" (SS50 1979,1981,1982)
H marked, black & blue plastic wire (Silver Star SS40 1983) ~ 5.5- 5.7k Ohm
S marked, black & blue plastic wire (Silver Star) ~5.6 - 5.7k Ohm
T marked, single white plastic cable combining both lead wires, (?) ~8.19k ?
MKI, V marked, black & white cloth wire. "Vintage" pickups. AST/TST60 ~ 5.7 - 6.3k Ohm
MKII, VII marked, black & white cloth wire. "Vintage MKII". Replaced U pickups? AST/TST50 & 55 1984/5/6/7. ~ 5.8 - 6.2k Ohm
MKIII Unmarked ceramic pickups (1987 AST & TST40) MKIII. ~ 3.87-3.9k
Unmarked gray bobbin pickups. Black & white lead wires. (1987)
White sticker label. MKII? ("Tokai_N,M,B") on gray back, Gotoh ST-Vintage MK3, Alnico V
BLACK backed single coils:
Unmarked, black & white wire (1977)
Unmarked, red,white & blue wires (SS36 & 38)
Unmarked, DiMarzio FS-1, "Fat Strat", black & white wire, (Silver Star S80)
Unmarked, DiMarzio VS-1, black & white plastic wire. TST80 1984
Unmarked, black & white cloth wire (HSS Goldstar)
Unmarked, red,white & blue wires (HSS Goldstar)
Tele pickups:
TEA (Bridge 7.25 kOhm per felixcatus)
TEB
