I've got a first version Ricky Light Show with several problems. The problem I'm working on now is the pickups. They both have broken coils and I'm going to rewind them but I don't know what resistance to wind them too. Does anyone know the DC resistance for these pickups?
Thanks,
Todd

I'll be off-line for a couple of days, but if no one has responded by the time I get back, I'll see whether I can measure mine.

Are you disconnecting them entirely from the circuit? The .0047mfd cap might be bungling your readings up.feedback wrote:Blimey..neck 14K...bridge 5.4..is something wrong with mine?
Re: First version Light Show pickups
yeah that is the 0.0047 cap interference. they are probably same 14k ...

Well, I do think they are expensive, but I don't know about overpriced. Those pickups are hard to find, just try and find them somewhere else..!?
For somebody with an incomplete Lightshow, $1000 for a pair of authentic pickups is a steal- you're talking about a guitar that is worth $20,000 complete, so it's all relative.
Seen how much a pair of authentic PAF humbuckers go for these days? A lot more than $500, for sure. And they are way easier to find than transitional high gains. I don't think Rhoads is trying hard to move their parts inventory, given the pricing, but we are talking primo parts here.
