HOW TO: Make a 59/Custom Hybrid

Re: HOW TO: Make a 59/Custom Hybrid

What is the inductance (henry) of the 59/custom?
How about the inductance of the 59N/Jazz for the neck?
Just curious as I recently read the typical strat is 2.3, PAF is 4.4 and some shred pickups go as high as 8.0.

BachToRock: On the 59N/Jazz, which screw plate do you prefer to keep for coil splitting?

I have no freakin idea... no way or need to measure it?
I measure tone with my ears...

Not sure I understand your question... what is a screw plate?

what are the benefits of the 59/Jazz hybrid? I thought they used the same gauge wire

This comes from the lack of knowledge of the terms. You said you had a pref for which coil of the 59/custom hybrid had the screws only when you have a setting to split the coil. Do you also have a favorite when you make the 59/Jazz neck when you have a coil split setting? My Schecter has a 59 neck and the 4th position splits the coil.

Same gauge...
Different insulation...
Different wind...

Please enlighten me... what is a "screw plate"

I meant the coil with the screws in it that you refer to early in this thread.

"The main difference is if you wire up a split switch... the Custom Coil sounds better as the split coil... it's around 7.2k which is really nice. That said... it will be Brighter when in split mode if you use the Custom screw/59 slug..."

Which screw and which slug do you prefer for the 59/jazz neck hybrid whis a split switch?

I'm just trying to educate myself. I admit that I don't know the names of all of the parts of a pickup. I am open to a good link that breaks one down and shows the parts and describes how each part works. Heck, until I saw your pictures I thought the magnet was inside the coil.

I apologize... I thought you were insinuating my "lack of knowledge of the terms"
I am getting old and have had a glass or three of wine, so I might not be at the peak level of perception at the moment...

The SLUG coil is the default active coil when splitting a Duncan humbucker...

It is a matter of personal taste when considering which sounds "best"... I will always state my personal opinion, but somebody else might prefer otherwise.

That said, both the Jazz Coil and 59 Coil sound great when split since they are pretty similar... the Jazz being a bit more articulate...

No way. I'm the weed-hopper here learning from the master (and I'm a good 8 yrs older, too). I've always been afraid to tear apart a pickup but you make it look so easy that I'm willing to try. I should've done some research on exact names of the parts first. All's cool. And a sincere Thank You for your advice, opinions and help.

Hey BachToRock,
Could you direct me to the pics again? I've decided to begin doing this.I have single braided conductor and wondered if this would be a problem. Thanks for all your help!
