A question to our Fender Strat specialists: I got a 2016 Custom Shop Strat and it came with handwound Texas Special pickups.
All 3 pickups have a handwritten marking "HW BP.".
"HW" most probably means "handwound".
But what does "BP." stands for?
I know the Abby or team built AY marked pickups, as well as the new Josephina signed pickups, but have never seen "BP." pickups in a Fender Custom Shop strat. Does anybody know what this stands for or who the custom shop winder is with the initials "BP." ?
EDIT: See post # 10 below for the answer!
