I am getting some handwound pickups (fron Jon Moore in Canada btw), and I have settled on 7.7 for the neck, but for the bridge's resistance I am lost...Should I stick with 8.3? Or maybe 8.7? Or even 9.2?
These pickups will go in a Parker Nitefly, which has mahogany body and a bright sounding neck...Supposedly a very balanced, rich tone acoustically...
I want an articulate and responsive, but harmonically rich, and airy and open and breathing tone...No metal here, I want lots of clarity...
Rid's 80s jam has tone I like, but I am sure that pickup has much higher resistance...I want PAF clarity with harmonics and not brittle or weak sounding, but no chucka chucka palm muting sounds...I use a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, and high resistance pickups dont agree with it...
I want thick but articulate lows, complex and full, pleasing mids, with a smooth top and lots of sustain and richness for jazz, jam, and blues...
What should I go with?
