ZB pickup

[Zebedee]

My ZB has a single-coil pickup, with 3 coil taps, at various windings.

Does anybody know what the readings are for those coil taps ?

Hallo Richard
Your best bet is to contact either Billy Knowles, Greg Jones or Kevin Hatton on the US Forum,if they don't know
nobody does, I had it written down somewhere but can't find it .
All the best

Richard, I took the readings from my last ZB years ago. The E9 pickup was tapped at 10K, 15K and 20K. I believe they were all hand wound and there was a tremendous variance from guitar to guitar.

Hi Richard,will try and get the readings off my ZB and get back to you. Regards,Graham ps seem to think there were posts on US forum to do with this,but maybe 4 or 5 yrs ago.Dont know if you can look back that far?

Richard, I have checked four, one on an S10 (originally on Johne Roche’s C6th neck)
A spare reported to be off an old GH steel and the two on Gordon’s ex D10 (not a matching pair!) now there’s a surprise!!
Anyway the most consistent readings were… E9th 6.6 - 9.3 - 15.9 ....... C6th 9.7 - 10.2 - 20
I read only today that it was reckoned Tom Brumley’s SD11 was 18 on the center tap!

I think Ken’s 10 – 15 – 20 might be a good root to go if you are thinking about a re-wind.

Just checked mine and get 10.26K 11.55K 21.81K Does that mean I have a C6th pick up on my E9th ?
