Hello, I have a fender blacktop strat HH. I am tying to find out the resistance rating for each pickup. All fenders specs say is that they are Hot Vintage alnico humbucking pickups. Thats it, I cant find much more but i think they are alnico 2. I also cant finde OEM replacement pickups listed anywhere, I was hoping to get the specs from a new pickup but nothing.
Any info would be welcome.
TIA Doug.

You might check ebay alot of times people are selling those, sometimes the sellers do an ohms listing in product details.
I do this alot when Im researching a pickup.
I have two meters and I do it all the time.

Magnet type has absolutely no relationship to the winding resistance of a pickup. Winding resistance itself is not a measure of how "hot" a pickup is.
