And yes, I KNOW THAT DC RESISTANCE ISN"T THE END ALL AND BE ALL OF PICKUP MEASUREMENT So that's out of the way s. But anyhoo, here is a vid of Keith Merrow giving it a run. It doens't actually sound as "gainy" as I thought it would but it does sound nice IMHO. NOT everyone's cup of tea obviously, but thought I'd share P.S. KEITH TEACHING THE ART OF COOL VIDS BY EXAMPLE: Take note of the camera placment, and what IS and IS NOT in the frame. Notice that there isn't any Laundry, Bedding, open closet, etc? These sorts of things create a negative impression on many (not all) viewers more often than not. Of course it's about the playing, but showmanship is also about "show" so this makes a very teachable moment. Want to gain ground on your youtube vids? Keep tight control of what the camera sees You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You'll need to have more of it to get the volume and output, and an even stronger magnet to drive it. It's like putting out a house fire with a fire hose = less resistance, vs. putting out a fire with a coffee straw = lots of resistance. PAFs got it right in my opinion. I accidentally made a 14k tele neck pickup with 46 awg and it sounded like crap. higher resistance doesn't always equal awesome. I found you can make cleaner pickups heavier with pedals, it's hard to make high resistance pickups sound decent clean. All said from my experiences.

I do pickup winding, rewinding, and some vintage repair as well.

Your not alone, lots of folks simply love the PAF and the JB. Hard to go wrong with either, especially for the money As far as mass market pickups go, both are a fine choice.
