I have an Emmons 10 string single coil that measures 20 K ohms.
What I'd like to know is if it's an E9 or C6 pickup (if they are different), and what tone (bright, mellow etc) you would expect with it.
TIA,
Charlie

I beleive the 20k was a C6th pick up, if i am correct i think the E9th was somwhere between 13k and 17k, cant swear by it though, but i am pretty certain thats, in the ballpark. 20 k will be a fairly darkish tone for E9, everybody's opinion will differ. There is only one rule to follow concerning tone. Sound good!  |

I'm sure you are correct. That jives with my dim recollection of these matters.
Thanks!

| I have an 83 push pull D-10. The pickups appear to be the original single coils. Both pickups measure about 20k. I discussed this issue with Bobby Bowman and he said those are the standard Emmons pickups from about the early 70s on. Both necks have that wonderful Emmons tone. I believe your pickup will work just fine on E9 or C6. |
