Re: Dual-slug humbucker.
I would've though all slug coils be wound one way and all screw coils be wound the other; Therefore making it a non noise cancelling pickup?

Re: Dual-slug humbucker.
Thats what I used to think. Actually, all the coils are wound the same. Its the fact that they hook one up out-of-phase that enables the hum-cancelling. Remember, each coil "sees" a different magnet polarity because of the way it lies underneath - thus - back in phase.
The three? There's a tonal difference between the two. (Slug or adjustable.) The slug tends to have a bit more beef to it. So, I though it might be cool to have an all-beef humbucker.
Edit: Now I see what you mean by "the three". You were refering to Mike's post. :smack:

Re: Dual-slug humbucker.
Artie... I have made a few Double Slug and Double Screw pickups... very subtle response changes... very useful for fine tuning a pickup to the specific instrument... it adds a bit more beef to the tone.
Lately, I have experimented with the polepieces like used in the Invader which also have an interesting response on the tone since the magnetic field is spread out in a broader and less concentrated manner to the strings.
On the Alnico 59/Custom Hybrids, I have cut the screws flush with the bottom of the baseplate on a few to direct more of the magnetic field up to the strings... I am really liking this mod...

Isn't the StagMag a Dual-slug humbucker?

Re: Dual-slug humbucker.
Cool. I'll have to try that. I need to take that guitar apart one more time to do a wiring "mod", so I'll cut the screws off then.
btw - I haven't forgotten my hybrid review. I just want to get the words right.
To me, the stud coil has just a bit more output and a bit less treble. As B2R said, its subtle. Perhaps a bit more presence.

I think it would be pretty cool to try. I can think of some situations where the added beefiness (is that a word? :laugh2
would be nice to have.

Re: Dual-slug humbucker.
That gives me an idea. You buy two humbuckers for an HSS guitar. You build one stud/stud hybrid for the bridge. Then you use the remaining two screw coils as singles. (With home-made bases, of course.) Then you use special wiring to be able to enable the original coils in series mode again. The tonal options with that setup could be cool.

A double screw humbucker might add a bit of treble back into a high output pickup too.

...or a double screw humbucker with the bottoms cut flush, eh?

Re: Dual-slug humbucker.
That should be closer to double-slug than a normal slug-n-screw bucker, though not quite the same as a double-slug.
