Pickup colors on 2003 Jem77FP?

[Tonelover]

All of the stock photos I see of the 2003 Jem77FP show all three pickups to be hot pink, yet I see some supposed 2003's being offered which have different colors. For instance, the two PAF's are sometimes light orange with the single coil hot pink. Since originality is important to me I am wondering if this is acceptable at times and if so, is there a way to tell if they are original or not? Thanks,

Yes, the humbuckers are usually a little lighter than the single. That's at least how it is on my FP15th, and most all pics I have seen of others. I am worried more about all three of them fading over time, my FP lived in it's case 99.9% of the time in order to prevent fading.

All of the Pups (knobs) on my 88FP are "HOT PINK"

On my 91 model they are more of a red than pink.

On my 2003 FP, the plastic on the humbuckers is translucent, which makes them look a little orange under yellow (incandescent) light. The single coil plastic is totally opaque and looks hot pink under all lighting.

The difference isn't that noticeable in real life. Photos really exaggerate the effect. In fact, I didn't really notice it until I tried taking a picture.
