turtle Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I was wondering if it is possble to make a burstbucker coil splitting by having a pro( of course) rewire the pickup for me. also does this or will it effect tone? or should i just go out and buy a pickup with a four wire lead. does gibson make one?

Swmcv2007 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I don't think you can. I would just get another pickup that can be split. Seymour Duncan has a bunch and I'm sure if you go into the higher quality range you can get a really nice humbucker with 4 wires. I wouldn't risk it on a burstbucker anyways.

bryvincent Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 actually, you can change it to 4-conductor and its pretty easy if you have previous experience in opening/disassembling a humbucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 You can do it but it is easy to damage the pickup... you better take it to a pro with experience in doing that, if his price is more than half of the pickup price, then you would be better off buying another pickup and keeping that one for replacement, or selling it.
