Yngwie's pickup output

Pickup hotness is not just DC. More people need to realise this! It is about inductance, capacitance and resulting resonant peaks also.

 

The old YJM and HS3 dimarzio have a DC of like, 19k or something, but a millivolt rating of about 90. The next highest mV rating for non hum cancelling pickups Dimarzio makes is about 125mV, and those are supposed to be 60s sounding coils.

 

Similarly, I have a Lace Transensor (as used by Shawn Lane,) and it has a DC of about 3k, yet it's inductance is about 10 henries and the resonant peak is way high, and it SIZZLES.
