Chris K alludes to this, but let me reiterate: with old guitars, the thing you have to beware of are overgeneralizations.
So when you read things like "1962 Strat pickups are 5.85kO" and "1963 Strat pickups are 5.95kO," remember that those are intended to represent average figures for a given production year. Actual mileage can and does vary, within certain limits.
Some specs will be pretty standard (you won't see non-staggered magnets on a Strat before mid-'74) but other specs can go all over the place (I have seen black bobbins on Strats as late as 1969).
