9.9K D.C. Resistance
Alnico 2 magnets (Gauss of 22)
Wound by MJ.
Don't remember the actual number right now.
So I bought this pup from Christian about 2 weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE it. It is essentially an unaged Texas Hot. Christian said he didn't like the pup because it sounded too beefy. That's the reason I love it.
Last night I got to use it at practice and it sang.
The Bridge/Middle tone is thick, but still good spank and chime. Sounds great with medium to heavy OD/Dist. I like using that position for overdriven rythym sounds and some leads.
When you switch over to the bridge pup alone you get a bit of a kick and obviously the cut that comes from the position. Like most strat pups it cuts right through the mix, but the alnico 2 magnets keep the brightness under control while dishing out some very thick strat tones, the pup crunches very well, and when you reign in the gain you still have good cluck and quack at your disposal. The pup will still let you dish out some surf tunes with authority without the harsh strat bridge pup sound.
All and all, a keeper!
