I bought a Cort G300 which pretty obviously takes inspiration from the Suhr Modern HH. It comes with the iconic JB/Jazz combo, which is awesome at this price point. Although Suhrs are very often custom orders with varying pickup configurations, it looks like Moderns commonly are configured with...

We're generally familiar with Lace Dually's (a library of humbuckers explicitly made by bolting together two, often unmatched, Sensor single coils), but what about the coils and splits in their more recent popular humbucker models under larger covers? Things like the Drop n Gain, Hemi, etc...

Ok, I think I've figured out what a big part of the problem here is. I'm used to Gibson and Gibson-style guitars in which the pickup volume knobs are "dual master" volumes when in the middle position, but ESP uses "independent volumes" wiring instead...

I can't find info on whether the L-250 (which I believe is a stack not a sidewinder) can be split, does anyone know? I'm considering one for my HSH guitar. I'd like to split so I can use the top coil with either a bridge or neck coil for Strat in-between sounds, and I also would like to access...

Got distracted by a 1964 Melody Maker, which got me interested in a 1959 Gibson LG-0 acoustic, which sent me down an acoustic rabbit hole, which sent me down a ukulele rabbit hole. But back to this one ;) I'm trying to figure out the wiring in this right now before making changes. Maybe...

I don't think I've seen this question asked/addressed elsewhere so I wanted to try here. I have an HSH guitar where I'd like to use a stacked pickup in the "S" slot both to have hum-cancelling when I just have that pickup selected, but also so I can "borrow" the bottom coil to cancel the hum...

Straight forward question: which humbucker sounds the most like a Tele bridge pickup when you split it? And yes, I know that part of the sound is the Tele bridge and saddles and so on. Assuming apples to apples hardware and wood, just asking about the pickups.

I know people say the P-Rails, with very different coils, sound better in parallel than most humbuckers so it got me thinking: what about other unbalanced humbucker designs like, say, the C5/59? Is the stronger coil more dominant in series or in parallel wiring?

Thanks folks, helpful feedback and ideas here.. The wiring I'm planning on is this one, but with 4 push-pulls so each pickup can be configured independently. My current thinking is that when I'm playing with gain (most of the time) I run a P-Rails in the neck in parallel and the C5/59 in...

Like many I'm looking for the maximum balance of versatility and quality when running 4 knobs, 4 push-pulls to do it all without touching the amp. Seems these two models get consistent praise for their split tones. Which would be better? Or would it even be better to do, say, P-Rail neck +...

Checked it out and I'm going to try it on my HH Charvel! For my LP toggle guitars I'm going to try a variation of this, but instead with four push-pulls so I'll have independent control of the bridge and neck (suspect I'll often have the neck in parallel and bring in series). I'm trying to...

I'll just start off with saying that I play with medium gain and I hate hum. With that in mind, I'm wondering what the simplest wiring might be to get the following modes while avoiding as much redundancy as possible and not having any non-hum-cancelling positions. I know this might not be...

Maybe not a humbucker plate, but clearly different dimensions than traditional P90 plate (compare the distance from the edge pole pieces to the edge of the plate):

Interestingly looks like the standard version of the Silencer appears to be a humbucker plate inside a P90 cover, if I'm not mistaken. This is surprising for a design targeting a P90 format, but does suggest the Phat Cat version would be identical. Now just need some real reviews and...

Ok, so lotta funky variables here. Both the SD P90 Silencers and the PRS USA TCI pickups get referred to as being like noiseless P90's (Phil McKnight specifically said that the PRS TCI is a noiseless P90). Interestingly the PRS USA TCI pickups have dimensions that are also quite similar to a...
