I just got this set of 85/15 pickups. I am wondering about the handwritten letters "TH" on the sign on the back. I saw this "TH" signature the first time on my 2016 PRS SE Chris Robertson that has a 57/08 pickup in the bridge position.

Does someone know what this could mean?

I'd guess it'd be the initials of whoever made/checked them.

Just a guess. Lots of PRS guitar bodies have the builder's initials in the pickup cavity.
 
I agree. It's either the winder or the inspectors initials.
 
I have a pink ND on my 85/15 bass:

The treble PU has been made by TH as well. Seems like a busy guy! :D

But....
How many other companies have their employees sign their work for the customer to see?

Too damn few.

The only company I can think of letting their employees “sign” their work would be the Fender Custom Shop, although that’s only valid for Masterbuilts (which I don’t get anyway).
PRS is unique here but it shows what a great company they are. At some point it would be great to actually meet the people who signed/built my guitar...
 
You will find a lot of initials associated with each PRS guitar. Everyone is responsible for quality control and takes ownership of their work. Personal accountability makes for great guitars!

My set of LT pups are by "TH" as well.
