That doesn't look like a Duncan or Dimarzio. What's the resistance on it?
 
Re: what pickup is this? help needed

thx for your reply.

how can I measure it in an easy way?

I've never done this before...

thx,
Heidi

I use a digital multimeter from Radioshack. Unfortunately, you will need to unsolder the pickup to test it out.

ah!

ok, my father got one. anyway, I'll do it in a few days and report the result. there are 4 cables, hope I'll do it right.

thx,

I have no clue what that pickup is!
 
Re: what pickup is this? help needed

eeehm...

is it possible just to plug in a normal cable and measure it at the other end? i've tried this and I got 15,22....

or is it a very false result with this method?

thx, Heidi

You're actually measuring the resistance of the whole circuit the way you did it.

The only way I know how to do it is to unsolder the pickup and take your measurement from the leads.
