Ricochet Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 It's called a "coil split" and is a pretty standard PU mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peeper Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Yes lol. We all doo doo I'm just saying half a humbucker does not make a single coil. I personally find that thin anemic tone unpleasing to my ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoop Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Whenever someone called Chad is involved it's bound to be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslee_1990 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Well my plan was to put a burst bucker In he bridge and split the coil on the neck but I'm not sure if that would work when I put it in the middle position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchale Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Why not use a push/pull pot to split the coil? That way you can have it both ways and the guitar still looks stock (no additional switch needed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
