What's this? Dummy coil?

[PhiloB]

I found this in my parts drawer.  Came out of a 90s-00s strat copy...can't remember the brand.  It looks like a dummy coil...metal slug with wound wire and 4 conductors.  If it is a dummy coil, why are there 4 conductors?  How would you go about wiring it up?

Music Man maybe?

Resistance between red and black is close to 3k.  Between any of the others is either 1.5M or 3M.

Maybe parasite coils getting 50Hz hum, to distract it from single pickup coils?
