Output is inductance, measured where anyone has measured it; *marks an estimate from DC resistance. The meter places each pickup among all pickups for the same slot. Prices are the maker's own, in its currency, and sort by their US dollar equivalent; “Set” means the maker sells it only with its partner. Dollar figures use the European Central Bank's reference rates of 30 Oct 2026. How we work these out.
