A question for any of you Emmons owners: What is the DC resistance of a typical 60's pickup for E9?

Thanks!

I have seen four different pickup Emmons pickup coil shapes in 1964, so the measurement will not be all that relevant. For what became standard single coil style, I have a guitar with 12.5 and 13.4K, some with 14-15K, then by the end of 1965 it seems they crept up to the 15K - 16K range. I had a very late Bolt-on (1967) that had split coils that were 13+k and 20K depending on the tap used.
I imagine that later Sixties pickups are set in the 16K range.
