Bill, At the time I didn't know about the tru-tones. Bobbe told me the 710's were the ones to get and so I bought. I don't regret it. Can't afford to switch now. The are very quiet.

I just tried the ohm meter on the jack and switched between E-9 and C6
E9 reads 18.26 ohms
C6 reads 19.23 ohms,
So which model are these?

I assume the switch, jack and 1' cable have some tiny effect, but not worth un-soldering to test it.

For the record both pickups together reads 9.92 ohms

It looks like you have 705's.

705 - approximately 18K-21K Ohms, 15H inductance
805 - approximately 26K Ohms, 21H inductance
605 - approximately 15K Ohms, 11H inductance
505 - approximately 12K Ohms, 7.5H inductance

Joey, you heard my guitar in Winnipeg, it came new with a E-66 on the E9th neck. I just didn't like the brilliance or "bite". I changed it to the 10-1, and that made a world of differance to my ear as far as the tone.
