Sounds good!

While the DC resistance doesn't define output level or EQ, that isn't to say a pickup with a different DC resistance will sound the same as another. A true DD wind wouldn't be a Custom Shop pickup. (Double-screw DD would be a shop floor custom.) I would expect MJ to have altered the wind to achieve your stated goals. "Clearer mids" could mean pushing the resonant peak up a bit, which dropping the turns would achieve. That would give you the brighter/clearer tone heard here, and explain the lower DC resistance.

Whats do you mean? The custom DD has a higher DC resistance than the regular DD. Must either be type of wire or gauge or even a looser winds. Who knows, but I'm stocked with its sound. Still yet to try it cranked through my TSL

Ey man, I am thinking of asking to have them wind me one of these too. Would you mind if I did (or didnt, if MJ or Derek comes up with something that suits my needs better)?

My bad, I confused which was rated which way. Nothing I hypothesized makes sense anymore; quite the opposite.

My only not-great stab at it now is that you're hitting distortion a little harder, causing a little more breakup, which is adding a little more high end. That's a very weak guess.

Not sure, I didn't change the settings on amp at all.

Of course you can mate!!! Just remember to ask MJ for the pickup by its number and not the name I made for it, cause thats how she catalogs the specs, and then she can build one for you. I'll be getting another for my other flying V soon.
