When you say 'hotness' do you mean output?

Post by: Tim on January 06, 2006, 06:08:54 PM: Don't forget though that DC res is only a guide to output and only of any real relevance if the pickups are all wound with the same wire.
Sometimes a low output pickup will sound louder than one wound hotter with finer wire as the hotter one compresses more and has less highs.
