Does anyone know how to tell the difference between MIJapan pkups and MIAmerican pkups? ie MIJ Strats used usa made and Japanese made pkups in certain strats, how can one tell the difference when the bobbins, flatwork, cloth wiring look the same.
Thanks, its bugging me.
(Pics are my 1992 - '93 MIJ '62 strat neck pkup = 5.9 Ohms).
