Why and what would happen if the resistance of pick up is lower than normal??
Does it mean less turns of the coil around the magnets or it could also be copper??
Thankssss

Like I said in the other thread, lower number of turns will mean lower resistance. If you use thick wires, you will not be able to wind the required number of turns resulting in lower resistance. This will result in lower output and brighter tone.

Even if you have a larger bobbin so you can wind the same amount of turns with heavier wire, it will still be lower resistance.

Thiner wire has high resistance.

For an example, Alembic uses 1500 turns of 40GA wire for their low impedance bass pickups.
