My L-298SN reads 10.71 kOhm, the L-298TL in my teleoid reads 14 kOhm and my L-298SL reads 19.23 kOhm.
However, the L-298SN is very different from the L-200SM. I was very disappointed at first, because I couldn't hear any difference between the L-298SN and the L-200SM. This was due to switch failure which I found out after I called Becky ...what a puppy bummer :o .
Anyone looking for raw Texas blues tone should give the L-298SN a serious try. It's a full blown single coil , but increased output means it will overdrive the amp faster.
It's like an over wound single coil without the flaws, you know the kind; dull top end, midrange peak and muddy bottom....PAF I think they call it ;)
