Re: How does the '59 sound coil-split?
One thing I have come to realize about this forum is, people are quick to pigeonhole you into their tone. What sounds good for them doesn't translate to what will sound good for you. Someone mentioned the Jazz doesn't sound good split. I have a Jazz with a split in my Iceman and it sounds fantastic. Archer also has said he also has a split Jazz and is happy with it. You have to separate speculation from practical experience. Some of these people are simply guessing based on stats and voltages with no real life experience backing their opinions. My advice is get the 59 and tap it. Music is all about experimentation, you just may come up with a cool unique tone.
