Tony is the best! We should officially change his last name from Cabibe to Cabebay.

It wouldn't surprise me if they sat for sale in a glass case for 10 years, or longer. And that "$15" really kills me!

LoL, seems so Jeff...ask poor Joey!
For a while, I was afraid Diane was going to put a contract out on me!

Those are indeed the genuine article. Congrats! You are not missing any wires. The treble pickup has an extra coil not found (or perhaps not wired) on the neck pickup. Both of Dave's pickups have the low impedance leads hence the wire count difference.
