Vintage Emmons Pickups Impendence Range
What was the impendence range of the late 60’s to mid 70’s Emmons single coil pickups. What do the experts say is the most prefered? I have one reading 1548? Just curious how this one falls in the range of what Emmons was using at that time. Thanks for any insight.

does it really mater?
I was once, at a daylong meeting, told by famed pickup designer Mr. Bill Lawrence, that the resistance readings of a pickup had nothing to say as too how they sound. Also that "low" impedance designs, as used before Fender took the market by storm in the 50's and thus set new standards, had little to do with low resistance of the pickup bobbin.
I was explained the "hows" & "why's" but being an electronics bum, I did not quite get the bigger picture.
The truth is, that some very old pickups can read ridiculously low resistance and still blow many newer pickups with high reading off the stage.
... J-D.
