Does a pickup’s DC resistance indicate tonal response or output?

No. DC resistance is not a direct indicator of tone or output. DiMarzio uses Resistance measurements to verify that a pickup is wound to the correct specification based on the type and length (number of turns) of magnetic wire used in a pickup’s design.

Our Output (mV) is a better representation of a pickup’s relative loudness compared to other DiMarzio pickups.

Our EQ chart, along with the description, provides a better representation of the tonal response.
