Just to be clear as mud, as I hadn't really thought about the correlation between windings and impedance... How can one tell if a Viper Bridge pickup is for a Viper III or a Viper II ?
My experience with about 30 Viper bridge pickups in the last couple years is that they all measure about 10K Ohms, no matter if they came from a Viper III or a Viper II. I seem to recall some having Yellow leads and some Red, but they measured the same, so I didn't think much of it. |

Yeah, I had looked up 43 vs. 40 and the resistance would be about half for the same length. But the coil wound with 40 would be a lot fatter and (I think) have a little less inductance. Should sound different if everything else is equal.
It's common to rate pickups by their DC resistance but that really doesn't tell you much by itself. There are lots of other factors- inductance, magnetic structure, etc.
I have the bridge pickup from my 2 pickup Viper handy. It has black and red wires and measures 9.9K.
