Dimarzio Igno resistance per coil?

[Mr. Lime]

Does anybody have a Dimarzio Igno laying round to measure the different coil windings?
I guess it could be very similar to a Norton winding but with double hex screws and A8 instead of A5 so I'm interested in a comparison.

I've long suspected that the wind is essentially identical to that of the Satchur8. DarthPhineas all but confirmed it in his review:

IGNO DP285 Bridge
Series – 13.2 K
Split – 7.4 K
Split – 5.8 K
Magnet – Alnico 8


Satchur8 DP273 Bridge
Series – 13.0 K
Split – 7.4 K
Split – 5.6 K
Magnet – Alnico 8

The difference between the IGNO and the Satchur8 are the Virtual Vintage slugs.
When I put a A8 into a Norton I wasn't too impressed of the sound. Maybe the double row hex screws make a remarkable difference?

I tried A8 magnets in a lot of pickups but at the end I had put them all out again. I liked the Alternative 8 in a Gibson SG Standard that I sold. Tried it in a SG Supreme but it didn't last long as it sounded nothing like in the Standard before.

I know what you mean. I liked it a bit in a JB and in PGb, but the C8 and others were to much for me. The PGb has an A6 now, the JBJ sports the original A5 again.
