Alright fellas. Any help determining the position of this pickup would be immensely helpful.

Well, that's a '60s bridge pickup!
Just out of curiosity, Hans, how did you know it was a bridge PU? I've tried to differentiate on eBay examples before, but never saw the difference. Also, do you know what the bridge and neck mini HBs should or normally read on the meter?

My guess is the hole in the center on the back. Good to finally know which spot it is from which this came. Hans, you are my hero...

Hmm. . .? Really, the hole? Inquiring minds want to know. What does yours read on the meter d?

Hi Darryl,
Hans answered this in another thread. The bridge PU has the little hole in the back and the neck PU has the magnets slightly closer together.

That applied only to the mini humbuckers. Don't know about the XR7s. That's DiMarzio fare.
