Is that pretty much the norm (not The Norm, LOL)?
My Hilos measure 2.35K each

The Hi-Lo's on my 1964 Anniversary measure:
Bridge: 2.88
Neck: 2.93
So it seems ok!

Interesting. They sound quite good, somewhat low power of course, I just assumed the dc resistance would be a little higher. In fact, I guess Dano Lipsticks are more powerful than Hilos.

For years Hi-Lo's were the only Gretsch pickups I knew. The only guitar I ever sold, a '64 Anni, had them, and now my old 'vette I've had for years. To my ears some of the most anemic and lame sounding pickups EVER under the wrong conditions, but with the right amp, and especially a little dirt, some of the most fascinating and magical...can you tell I've been appreciating mine lately? My corvette records like no other electric I've ever owned. My pickups measure 2.9-3.0, by the way... How do ya'll fare with 60-cycle hum? My Hi-Lo's seem exceptionally quiet compared to other single coils.

What are you guys measuring anyway? This is just another cryptic topic for me.

Rocketman,
we are measuring resistance (weerstand) in kilo ohm).
An easy but not really exact way is to plug a guitarchord in your guitar and measure the resistance between the ground and the hot. The real way would actually be to measure it on the pick up, preferrable when it is not attached.
If you would want to know more about it I'm sure there are many places on the net but this is a pretty good one: www.seymourduncan.com > support > choosing and installing > how to pick a pick up.

LOL, why the hello didn't I put this in the pickup section?
