Re: Fender and Gibson don't use "aftermarket" pickups anymore?
Zhangbucker makes something called the Splat, where the "split" wire is actually a tap part way into one coil, so when split you get all of one coil and part of the other.
This partial split is a bit different from PRS' resistor version. With the Splat you get the full signal from a shortened section of wire, whereas with resistor split you're getting an attenuated signal from the whole coil.
In practice, I'm not sure there would be any audible difference between the two methods.
IME resistor splits work really well. Just figured it was worth mentioning the Splat.
David winds some fantastic pickups; I've got a number of them.
