A great replacement for the original is a Jerry Wallace True Tone wound about 1800k

Allan,
An 1800 kOhm pickup would sound just a wee bit dark on there I'm sure

(Just kidding you my friend )

Seriously : A Wallace True Tone wound at about 18 kOhm would sound VERY good ! I have one like that on my Carter's E9 neck and it sounds real close to my Emmons P/P - which is in a hundred pieces at the moment and I don't even know the impedance of it's pickup.

I replaced the single coil pickup on my '80s push/pull uni with an 18.5K TrueTone. I noticed almost no difference. The TrueTone is a great pickup, but so was the original.

Gary, I have a 75 pp and I had Jerry Wallace rewind the pickups to 17.5. What a difference. Jerry is the best.

I have an E66 on top and a 712 on the bottom . .. both sound great, and just a little "warmer" than the original single wounds.

WHY do steel guitar players buy such and such a guitar for it's Wound/TONE, etc., then promptly change the pickups so that it will sound like SOMETHING ELSE?

Just curious......

I had my guitar for almost 20 years before I promptly changed the pickups. I changed because a better pickup brought out more of the natural sound of the guitar. Just sounds EVEN better.
