First up, a number of pickups.

Suhr Thornbucker+ Bridge pickup  - £65  - SOLD
Zebra, Trem spacing, short legs, 4 conductor wiring.
Plenty of hook up wire, measures around 9.4k on my meter.
AlNiCo IV magnets. Nice warm sounding pickup with a bit of bight to the attack. Taps pretty well too.

Bare Knuckle Pickups Rebel Yell - £100 - SOLD

53mm spacing, short legs, this pickup is unused and boxed.
Measures 14.9k on the meter.


Bulldog Iceman Telecaster set - £65 - Sold
Neck measures 7.92k
Bridge measures 7.42k

 
Nice set, installed them in my FGN Iliad but they ended up sounding very similar to the set I have in my LsL, so reverted back to the SD's it came with to give me something different. Hayden winds great pickups, easily on a par with any well known boutique winder.

 
PRS SE Mike Mushok G&B set - £35
Just labelled SE, I'm assuming these were fitted to most SE's. Specs have them listed as PRS designed SE. Anyway, pulled out almost as soon as the guitar arrived, they sound good, just that I had some Wolftone's sat on the shelf and access to a soldering iron. What was I to do?!

Neck 9.9k (white lead)
Bridge 10.7k (yellow lead)

Ibanez V7 & V8 set  - £50
Plenty of hook up wire left on both, will add meter values later.
Bought these for an Ibanez RG I was tinkering with, did not get around to installing them.

EMG 57  - Black Chrome - £55
Used for a short while. It sounds great, includes installation kit (EMG vol/tone quick connects etc).
Please note - this was installed direct to body, unfortunately this means that it will not be able to be installed suspended from a pickup ring unless re-tapped.

MotorCity BlisterBucker - £60
Motor City are a US pickup winder and my understanding is that the Blisterbucker was a pickup wound to get the an early VH tone, although measuring in at 15.2k, I'm not sure.   However there are so many variables to pickup winding that I it is not worth dwelling. However I can tell you that it sounds great, warm and smooth sounding yet with plenty of bite. A bit of research suggests that this pickup has been renamed the Angel Dust.

Trem spaced, short legs, four conductor.

March

DiMarzio DP425 Satch Track Neck - SOLD.
In cream, plenty of wire left, slight bit of enamel scratched off one of the blades (see photo), purely cosmetic but otherwise fine. It measures 7.06k on the meter and genuinely, this pickup surprised me, it sounds really good. Just that the guitar it got pulled out of is being returned to the original spec. 

DiMarzio DP184 The Chopper - £42.50 
Plenty of wire left, again a slight bit of enamel chipped off one of the blades, but it does not affect the way it sounds.
8.86k on the meter. 

Gotoh 510 Trem - £90 
With steel block, twin post. Trem arm, springs, posts and stud inserts included. Saddles are 10.8mm
Knife edges are in good nick, works smoothly. These are around £150 new with the steel block.
 
If fitting to a US Std Strat of something of similar ilk, note that you may need to remove a small amount of material from the edge of the cavity to ensure the trem will fit, but IMHO these offer an improvement over the standard 2 post trem, which is probably why they are so ubiquitous.

@keithf was after a single coil humbucker

That EMG is tempting, but I have nowhere to use it right now.
