PRS do great coil splitting with almost no signal drop. They suck too.JHorner wrote:Just my own limited experience with Gibson coil splitting:Delayman wrote:Haha - I'm intrigued.

Because I enjoyed the guitar as is, the coil split would be bonus.
On my LP: tone difference is practically imperceptible
On my SG: previous owner rewired it to disable coil split, I guess they found it pointless as well
What are you gassing for?

Re: What are you gassing for?
Interesting... I find the split/tap/whatevertheycallit on my Epi LP is quite usable, so was the split I added to the SE245's Whole Lotta pups Olderama now has. Would love to hear what he thought of this.

Re: What are you gassing for?
the splitting on my epi 339 is very useable overly impressed with those epiphone alnico pickups
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: What are you gassing for?
Come to think of it, quite happy with the split in my PRS S2 as well. Maybe I'm just easy to please?

Lol, running a lot of gain are we? If you are on a clean channel and you can't hear the coil splitting, I'd suggest it is not working.

That is a distinct possibility. There is a tiny difference, so its doing something, but perhaps not what it's supposed to.olegmcnoleg wrote:I'd suggest it is not working.

Re: What are you gassing for?
I would be gassing for this blue Supro guitar but my dibs on BG's Supro trumps it! The gold-foil single coils seem to be the business. Interesting video at the end of the article:

Gassing for everything and nothing... I've reached the point where I get excited and disinterested in the space of an hour. It's saving me a fortune in shipping costs.

You would do well to take a good look at Tony's. I'm in no way a strat fan, but that one almost had me converted.sizzlingbadger wrote:Got my eye on a USA Strat, want something comfy with single coils.

A 'real' jazzmaster, or failing that, a pair of fender WRHB style pickups to mod my current HH jazzmaster with (if i'm not gonna have a traditional one, might as well change it up even more...)
