What are some favorite humbuckers that split for a single coil tone? I've read that the JB is one, and I have experience with the PRS 85\15 that is pretty convincing as well. What are some other favorites?

I think the Tone Zone and Evo both split really well.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

PRS does a unique thing with their coil splits. I don’t remember specifically what it’s doing, but it is not simply grounding out one coil. Whatever it is (partial split?) is why theirs sounds really good, doesn’t buzz like crazy; and doesn’t lose much volume.“I can play the hell out of a riff.

I have not tried myself but the demos of the Screamin Demon split sound really nice. I think The Custom and also the 59/Custom hybrid are have been mentioned in this forum to have a nice split sound, but again I have not tried them.Who took my guitar?

Interesting. The 85/15s I have do sound great split - figured they were just voiced that way. Do you think this would hold true with their stock wiring and an aftermarket pickup? Or only with stock wiring and stock pickups?

The Hybrid, Custom Custom and the Alnico II Pro all sound good split, especially in conjunction with another split humbucker. The only humbuckers I really don't like split are the Little Humbuckers.Administrator of the SDUGF
