Alnico 2 59?

Re: Alnico 2 59?

I can't speak to the Customs or the JB/Distortion deal, but I do know the Jazz and A2 Pro are different from direct experience.

Although I do suspect that the CC is wound a little darker than the C5, the different magnets notwithstanding, plus the DC resistance is slightly different from the other two.

Oh. So if I were to order a 7 string Custom with an alcnico II or V magnet, it wouldn't be the same as having a 7 string Custom Custom or 7 string Custom 5?

I don't know. Remember I said I SUSPECT the CC is different, but I could be wrong.

Re: Alnico 2 59?

a Custom a Custom 5 and a Custom Custom are ALL THE SAME COILS JUST DIFFERENT MAGNETS...the difference in DC is because they ALL vary a little bit...the numbers on the tone chart are just guidelines!

Re: Alnico 2 59?

Of course there's slight variations when you actually buy one and measure it, but if it's the same coil, I would think it would have nominally the same DC resistance number on the chart.

IIRC, Evan said once that the DC Resistance was the averages of the different pickups and not the actual reading.

Re: Alnico 2 59?

Yes, but the chart number should be the same. The A2P chart number is presumably an average too, but there's only one number for it on the chart.
