Re: Coil split vs coil tap, do you know what they mean?
Well, no, not exactly.
Coil splitting is simply that...splitting the 2 coils into 1 active coil. Coil tapping is taking a lead out of the winding of a single coil somewhere (anywhere, not necessarily in the middle, and usually between 10 and 30%) between the start and finish of that coil.
So, it is possible to TAP one of the coils of a bucker and still play it in humbucker mode. Therefore, it will be tapped, but NOT split. It will not, in this case, be totally humbucking, however, because of the unbalanced coils.
I think (without rereading this entire post again) that this has been covered, so I am just summarizing/repeating it.
