im new to the forum so forgive me if this question has already been asked BUT... it says on the site that an alcino warpig has a d.c. resistance of 21.5 but whats the d.c. resistance on a CERAMIC warpig ?? does anyone know for sure ???
-
the DC resistance is the same but the output is higher because of the stronger field of the ceramic magnet... I guess
-
VisitorQ is correct, but to expand - DC resistance is only related to the wire gauge and number of turns, so changing the magnet will not affect it.
-
Since all BKP are wound by hand every set should vary. I also think they wind them to suit your guitar. I ordered a warpig set with ceramic bridge for my soloist and it came out at 22k with the neck (alnico) at 21.5k.
-
ahhh i see. well ok then lets just get to the real question here... whats higher output a ceramic warpig or a wcr ironman ?? thats really what im tryna figure out anyway
-
with the neck (alnico) at 21.5k.
Are you sure? That's the average heat for the bridge WP. The neck averages at 17.4 and I don't think there's that much of a margin for fluctuation in the DC range.
