A little info. on some Texas Pup's for a Tele Please

I receantaly purchased a used pair & the Neck reads 9.10 ~13

the bridge read 10.29

Is this reading due to age / use, or should they read 9.50 & 10.50
respectivly

Thanks for a reply

Who made them? What model are they?

I recently purchased a used pair & the Neck reads 9.10 ~13

I presume that you meant K Ohms. How can it read 9K1 to 13K Ohms? Does the reading wiggle around? What meter are you using? Is the battery any good? Are the leads intermittent?

The bridge reads 10.29

10K29 Ohms is well within the normal manufacturing tolerance of a nominal 10K5 Ohm pickup model.

9K1 Ohms is well within the normal manufacturing tolerance of a nominal 9K5 Ohm pickup model (without the wiggling).

Thanks for the reply

I promise to learn how to use this meter & not wiggle the next time also ;D

Thanks again !

Well, I'm really glad that you didn't say that your pickups had outputs of 10K29 Ohms and 9K1 Ohms.

The DC resistance of a pickup is the output impedance (the internal impediment to the output signal) at DC when it is producing no output signal.

Rating a pickup's output by its DC resistance is akin to rating a person's intelligence by their shoe size.
