I wind my own pickups ( scatter wound- good sound, a bit fragile but comparible to midlevel single coils),
and would like to know if anyone knows if putting a resistor
in one of the conductors would actually have an effect on the PU, and in which way?

To put it bluntly could i get away with a thousand or so winds and get away with putting an appropriate value resistor in to make up impedance/level, instead of having to do X thousand winds.


Thanks for any help.
