What model is it?
I don't see a model designation on the top of the pickup e.g., E66, EON etc. That is almost always a 10-1. That is also consistent with your DC Ohms reading compared to the above ... |

I am not a big fan of so-called beginner steels. You will get a lot of mileage out of a good quality 3 X 4 pedal steel. It might even be all you will ever need. Different steels just feel...well...dif ... | |
