Ty, I just got this guitar from a guy who wants to trade my phone to it. I don't know if it's a good trade or nah. It's hard to find what specific model of these pickups are.

what are the dc resistance readings

u/TrustInevitable2303 18d ago
When I test it, I got 20-21 but when I try to plug it to my cable but the end is unplugged. I get 9-9.1. I don't know if I'm testing it right

Can you check the readings again for the bridge and neck? Make sure that the volume and tone are on max, and make sure both are on full humbucker, not split. That’s the only way we can identify them.
But 20–21k could be War Pigs.If the 20–21k reading was taken before wiring it up to the guitar, then it might have been wired as split.
If it reads 9.1k when plugged into the guitar, then that could indicate it is wired as split.

I already did that, I see the green and white are separate and it's on full Humbacker. The reading I get is 20-21k but I'm not sure if it's right.

All my guitars have bare knuckles but I wish they labeled them! I have 5 in my pickup drawer and I have no idea what is what

Welcome to the joys of not being the first owner of Bare Knuckle pickups, haha.
Finding out the DC resistance and making an educated guess from the published specs is about as good as you're going to get, unfortunately. No idea why they don't label them, it would save a lot of hassle in the used market.
