Which wiring would give me the least volume drop and best usable (stratty ala Gilmour) sound? It's for a DD bridge and a '59 neck in a Gibson LP custom. Any input would be appreciated....

Re: Coil split; Series or parallel
Parallel is going to give you about 1/3 of your total output with no hum...Originally posted by -Heineken-

Split will get you closer to a single coil tone but will also give you the single coil hum..In either case,you won't exactly get a true single coil tone,but it's usable and at least gives you the versatility of series and split tones...I always use a DPDT ON/ON/ON switch so I can have series/split/parallel with a switch..

Thanx for the info.
Would like more opinions from other guitarplayers here on what they prefer though...Comment
