Do coil tapping single coil pickups give you the option to have higher gain like that of a humbuckers and still have the option to switch back to single coil sound?

Re: Coil tapping and coil splitting
Yep. You can split stacked singles or you can cut the output of a true single if it's high enough and the right kind. You will need a push pull pot to switch back and forth.Last edited by Falloffthebonetone; 12-27-2013, 04:57 PM.

Re: Coil tapping and coil splitting
Not necessarily, because that statement is too general to be true. Coil taps can be wound into any sort of pickup coil for different output levels. It doesn't mean that one is necessarily humbucker-like and the other is necessarily single-coil-like So, just because you purchase a pickup that can be tapped, it doesn't mean it's a high-output pickup as a rule. There are pickups out there that can be tapped from a medium output pickup down to a normal output pickup, or from a normal output pickup down to a low output pickup. There are even pickups with two taps, so you can switch between three different winds, using the same pickupLast edited by ItsaBass; 12-27-2013, 04:48 PM.Originally posted by LesStratYogi Berra was correct.Originally posted by JOLLYI do a few chord things, some crappy lead stuff, and then some rhythm stuff.

A high or medium output is desirable for taps because you don't want to cripple the output of a weak pickup by tapping it... There are ALWAYS exceptions but sometimes it's best to just keep it simple, especially for, people that are just getting into this kind of thing.Originally posted by LesStratYogi Berra was correct.Originally posted by JOLLYI do a few chord things, some crappy lead stuff, and then some rhythm stuff.
