True, true, true...I just try to do my homework first..
 
Ok...

I went back through these boxes of pickups and my Artec Classic Standard is a 2-wire, so that's out.

Additionally, I need to use dedicated neck and bridge to keep the '5-Tone' theme.

That narrows my choices somewhat.

I have a Guitar Madness '1984' Bridge (Duncan Distortion clone) measuring 14k in 5 wire configuration with Ceramic magnets and #42 wire.

I have a Guitar Madness 'Dirty Digit' neck pickup - A Gibson dirty fingers clone - with two rows of adjustable poles, ceramic magnets and measuring 9.28k, #43 wire.

The only other matched neck/bridge pickups are the Gibson DSC's, which, oddly enough, both measure 7.9 with Ceramic magnets and #42 wire.

What's the better combo based on what I have on hand???
 
Changing direction again to be able to use only parts on hand....I need to get the budget aspect of this guitar back on track. I'm going off the rails again...

I have the Dirty Fingers Neck Clone, which would probably be a good fit in the bridge. I also forgot that I have a pair of Artec Stacked Single Coils with twin bar magnets and screw-type, adjustable pole pieces.

They both spec out to about 7k and one is an A5 magnet and the other is ceramic.

I also found a black/white/black pickguard (H-S-S) and this combo gets me up and running with no other distractions.

More to come...
