I am also considering to swap pickups in my JTV 89F and understand that their resistance needs to be between 6-8kOhms. However, all the bridge pups I like have higher bulk resistance. Could someone tell me what the negative consequences of a magnetic pickup with higher/different resistance can be? Is this going to blow the electronics up after first plugging in the guitar, or may it cause the degradation of sound quality in certain situations, or something in between?
