Howdy Guitar tone gang! If ya travel in the way back machine, you will find THIS BLOG please, READ IT!
I'm BIG on repeating that:
On it's own, the measured resistance of a guitar pickup means nothing!
And now ... drum roll ... I have video proof!
Check out this video where I demonstrate how simply warming a pickup slightly by holding it in your hand makes the impedance rise!
But wait! There's more, check out this one, where I show how removing the pole pieces does not affect resistance, and with no pole pieces, it's NOT even a guitar pickup!
Okay gang, I hope I've made my point here about resistance, please DON'T use it as a reference for how a pickup will sound, okay?
Resistance on it's own means absolutely nothing.
