I just purchased a SSL-5 T. I'm very disappointed. I thought in the tapped position it would resemble a Fender Strat tone. It doesn't. It sounds fat and thick, not thin and airy. The only difference I see in the tapped and full positions is the volume of the pickup. The tone is exactly the same. I could achieve the same results with the volume knob. Another drawback I noticed is the B and high E strings are very weak. Almost not there. The stock pickup is much louder than the Duncan (tapped) pickup. In full coil mode it's about the same.
Does anyone have experience with these pickups and is this supposed to act like this?
Thanks,
Herb
