I just bought a "92 Sunburst and the treble pickup was odd because it was a trembucker size??? So I pulled it out to look at it and there is no sticker on the bottom but its got that fancy engraved seymour duncan base. There was evidence that the sticker used to be there but I did not find it in the cavity. I measured its resistance and it is 18.13K. It also has the four conductor wire. Wondering if any of you serious Hamer experts know if this could possibly be original. I read on one forum where someone said they had a hot JB in their Centaur and that Duncan overwound them for Hamer. Considering the trembucker size I'm skeptical that it is original and it looks like the solder had been touched.
Did hamer ever put trembuckers in Sunbursts from this era?

Were their JB's overwound to 18.13?
