I bought a hybrid '59/Custom5 from JumpMarine last week and it only has two leads. Can the leads joining the two coils be unsoldered and extended to split the coils?

Re: Can a Two-Lead Pickup Be Split?
yes - with major surgery
you would disassemble the pickup ... unsolder the junction between the coils ... attache a 4-wire cable to the 4 ends ... reassemble the pickup
probably about an hour's work if you have all the tools and work carefully so as not to damage anything
good luck

yes, in a certain way you can create a similar sound with a little device called Q-Filter, which is sold by Bill Lawrence. This dummy coil can be dialed or flipped in to sound much like parallel single coils. I used it with a JB until i switched the volume pot to a push pull. Cheap, easy to install, the sound is great.
