Just received my Fatbody neck to pair with a Vintage Alnico 62 bridge for my wigglestick SX Furrian . I just measured resistance of the Fatbody to ensure it was working before installation and it clocks in at 5.45K. I was under the impression that it was wound a little higher than that (like around 7K?) but a re-read of the GFS site page shows that no impedance resistance is listed. Can anyone take a reading on theirs so I can determine if mine is in the ballpark before installing? Thanks!

just got a reply back from Guitarfetish direct that they are wound to 5.5K specs (still seems kind of low for a tele neck).

David, don't worry about the low resistance reading, it's a loud pickup, louder than a standard Tele neck pickup for sure.
