surfgreen Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hello! Might anyone have any first hand experience comparing coil tap humbuckers to non coil tapped humbuckers? I heard, (have no idea personally) that coil tapped spec LP's might not have the same tone as a normal version when in humbucker mode. True?

Malchik Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 No, when un-tapped they sound just like any four conductor humbucker. If you have a four conductor humbucker, you might as well take advantage of all the options you can have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainNemo68 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Actually, I had problems with the Gibson Les Paul Classic Antique with stacked humbuckers and coil tap (this was back around 2007 or so). Whenever I coil tapped a pickup the volume would dissipate dramatically. On the other hand, I also had a Peavey Odyssey and it had standard side by side coiled humbuckers with coil tapping. The coil tapping was awsome and worked perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainNemo68 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Is the the H-90 pups in that? Yes, I think it was the H-90 pups. They were essentially the stacked coil P100s with coil tapping. I don't own the guitar...I was only test driving it back in 2007. It was a beautiful guitar, but the sound...ehhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
