  • SRV pickups order?

    A guy commented on a video on youtube that ¨Stevie had the hottest pick-up in the neck position instead of the bridge position, so the pickups were reversed wired, This is why so many thought that stevie had hot pup's in his guitar.the truth is many think due to his neck pup sound he had hot pickups, which is wrong just the hottest was in the neck, not in the brigde. ¨.

    Has anyone heard of this before?

    This page has the specs as stock '59 pickups on that famous guitar of his:



    But, those SRV strats have Texas Special pups, so beats me. Those TS pups are only rated at like 7K ohms, which doesn't seem that hot to me. My Dimarzios are over 20 K ohms, but of course those are double-stacked.

      You can find the readings that the Fender custom shop took from the original guitar when the tribute was being built. Check on the FDP forum.

          Resistance doesn't necessarily tell how hot a pickup is

            True, but it is a useful non-subjective measurement.
