Re: Matching Trembucker output with 2 single coils. I can accept that a split HB won't sound true single. But, I have and have had humbuckers that sound great when split. But this is my first strat style, 3 pick up guitar. I've always (40 years) played guitars with 2 humbuckers. The way it...

I don't know the actual output of any of my pick ups but here's the DCR. Neck single coil 6.3k Mid single coil 5.7k Bridge Humbucker 12.4k (6.3k when split.) I don't particularly like the sound/tone of the G&B brand humbucker when split so I'm looking for a Trembucker to replace it. But, I know...

Re: Blend Pot in Pacifica diagram? Here's a closer up of the DPDT. The left side has my green and yellow wires I added to get the bridge side of the bridge humbucker in the neck and neck/middle positions. The right side has the white wire that grounds the neck side of the bridge humbucker (via...

My Pacifica has HSS, one 500k volume pot and only one 250k tone pot. The tone pot is also a push/pull coil tap for the HB. 5 way selector (bridge, bridge with middle, middle, middle with neck and neck.) But, position 2 also automajically splits the HB even without the tone pot pulled up...

Years ago someone stuck a Jackson J-80C in the bridge position of my old Vantage VLP-500. (Matsumoku metric Les Paul). I'm looking for a good recommendation for a better replacement bridge pick up. I play mostly classic rock, hard rock, blues, and country stuff through small Fender Combo Amps...
