No, going less than 500 Kohm is a very small change in sound. I doubt many people can hear it at all.

Re: Oh Dear, I think I like EMG's
With EMG's it really depends on what's vibing with you on the guitar. I put a set of EMG's on my goldtop EC400 (see my avatar) and they absolutley smoke on that guitar. On the other hand, I just took a whole set of EMG's out of my 1989 HM Strat that have been installed in that guitar for about 15 years 'cause I'm not feeling the active tone anymore.
I really like the EMG humbuckers - the 89, 81, and 60. All very nice pickups - I think the distortion tones you can get with the 81 are fantastic, and very fitting for my sorta-kinda Les paul knockoff EC400at.
On the other hand, I am trying out one of the Duncan SH-5 custom pickups in my HM strat now, and that's going pretty good. To me, pickups are like pedal combinations - you just gotta try different combinations in different instruments to find your sound.

Re: Oh Dear, I think I like EMG's
I'm not crapping on EMGs at all, but based on what you've said about some of the other pickups you've tried, I find myself pretty curious about the rest of your setup.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw the post about the Traynor. I know that amp. Perfectly fine amp. I guess I just hear things differently.
