525 it's a Nashville. Altho in the case there are 4 of the silver top knobs which I will probably put on it instead of the black speedknobs. And when I lifted the mounting plate in the control cavity the date matched.
These things are shielded like crazy. There are shields in the control cavity, jack cavity, and switch cavity.

One last post on it. I got the Bourns low friction pots today and installed them. First off these pots were all over the place. 431k, 515k, 531k, 551k. And I already had one that measured 581k. @glpg80 if that's an issue for you then there you go.
So I put them in as I thought best, the 581k went on the neck tone control and the 431k went on the bridge tone control, then the 531k and 551k went on the Neck/Bridge volumes respectively.
These pickups sound great. No need to change them. My litmus test is straight in to my Superlead cranked. PASS!

Good to know. I got mine in the mail but haven’t opened them. I’ll be sure to measure them. I know how to modify the taper on these so that they’re closer, so I might spend some time this weekend taking apart some potentiometers and balancing them out a bit. I am only replacing the volume pots themselves and leaving the tone controls. I can always put a 100k resistor in series with the tone control to make them less of a tone suck issue.
