    They are pretty weak actually, by todays standards. 8.5 ohms iirc.

    I would say they are PAF sounding pups.

    ...

    You are correct. I measured the DC resistance with my Digital Multimeter a few days ago and it measure to be 8.3 ohms. Close enought to the 8.5...it's 25 years old after all and it is very much the same as a vintage PAF or SD59...probably more like a Seth because it is unpotted...no wax.

    Andy is one of the head honchos for Floyd, not Schaller

    The old Schaller pups were about 9 kOhm, but sounded quite a bit hotter than a regular PAF. The new ones are higher output from what I know, besides that they cost a little fortune - you can get a set of Duncans for one of the current Schaller pups. At least here in Germany, dunno what the prices are like elsewhere.

    I thought the schallers were supposed to sound like the Custom Custom, not the Custom? And being a ceramic pickup they're bound to sound alot hotter than what they measure at 8,3kOhm

    I have alot of guitars and I keep going back to my pacer imp and its mostly because of those damn shaller pickups. They sound fantastic!
    As for the 2 in 1s, I have a pacer special with one of those, and it really nails the brown sound.
