I have no idea why, but I bought...

The EMG logo on the bridge humbucker is silver, but the logo is gold on the single coils. I've been looking around and haven't seen anything similar. Seems like they were all three silver on Tyler's Lukes, IIRC.

Fluke, or do I need to yank the pickups to see what's on the back to satisfy my curiosity?

Hmm. Tyler says his are all gold. Guess I'll yank it and see.

On my BFR Luke all EMG logos are gold? Looks like the bridge pup was changed? Hows it sound?

From EMG's FAQ:

How can I tell which pickup I have?
A number of the EMG models consist of different magnets, coils, and electronics in similar shells. That can make it hard to tell at a glance what kind of pickup you have.
Of course, the first indicator is the shape of the pickup - humbucker, Strat-style, Tele- style, Precision (split-coil) or Jazz bass, etc. If you see visible pole pieces, then this is a Vintage Series pickup.
Once you’ve narrowed down the general family, you can tell the specific model by the color of the EMG logo on the face of the pickup. For example, if you have a humbucker sized pickup with a silver logo, it is an EMG-81; with a gold logo, it’s an EMG-85. The identifying logo color for most of our pickups is listed with their specs on the Product Specification page.

This may explain why my friend never warmed up to it, being a classic rock player primarily. I'll put an 85 back in it, as Luke, Poppa and Dudley intended.
