So, I've tried this topic over in TGP, but I figure if it's a Tele question, I might as well sign up and ask it here.
So I have a 2008 American Deluxe Tele with SCN pickups. I like the pickups, they're just lacking a bit of clarity. I do like how they're so hot (but not TOO hot). How hot do I have to get with Alnico 5 pickups to get to that output? I know SCNs say they have a DC resistance of 13.8K. If I got a set of Lollar Special T's (which are Flat Pole A5 8K), would that be less output? An if i got a set of Don Mares' Flat Pole Alnico 5 and had him wind it at 8K, that'd be comparable to the Special T's, correct? Thanks, guys!
