Tele neck resistance

[Magnut]

Are a tele's neck pickup resistance usually listed with the cover on or off. Or to put it another way, what is a typical tele neck pickup resistance before putting the cover on?

Thanks

..Fender specs are with the cover "on" (and grounded, by the way), other people just measure the OHMS reading between the two leads.

The "resistance" one usually sees is the DC resistance, so it makes no difference if the cover is present or not. Only with AC resistance can the cover be detected.

[Old Tele man]

...that's why resistance (R) is a DC-value, while reactance (XL or XC) and impedance (Z) are AC-values.

Joe is right. The presence of a cover will affect the tone but won't affect the DCR reading.

"...yes, but it's a DRY heat!"

I was in Las Vegas once and it was 120 degrees F. It was damn hot, dry or not! You had to take a bottle of water with you everywhere you went. But it was way more comfortable than 100 degrees in New Jersey.

So why do you still live in New Jersey?

Mostly to stay close to NYC. I'm hoping to head out to Az at some point.
