Just received some more info on specs from Ron Thorn via a very kind Fretboarder 'Surfguy'-------------------------------------------------

-------------Those are Rickenbacker "toaster top" pickups that I wound. They are very low output because the bobbins are so narrow and small.
When I get to the shop later today I can tell you the approximate output. I still have one left. I believe it's the only Thorn I used them on, I should do something about that - I thought they sounded great.

I do recall the original owner experimenting with the heights of the pickups. Since they're not floating and easily adjustable, I seem to recall him making shims to raise the heights.
This was probably 8 years ago, so I'm a little vague on the specifics.
The color is Lake Placid Blue, probably darker in person than in the cruddy parking lot photos I used to take.
The fingerboard radius is 10".

I'll see what other specs I can pull up on it later today.

Cheers!
Ron Thorn
