Invader single coil

Do any of you know if this has been tried yet ?
I was thinking that a HOT single coil with the
cap screws might make for some nice harmonics
in the bridge pos. :dance:
 
Re: Invader single coil

Sounds like a kewl idea. This makes me think of an idea i had. Imagine a humbucker version of the quater pounder singlecoil. We could call it the half pounder, the humbucker desinged for use in a strat.

GFS pickups makes a QP style humbucker called the Bigmouth I have one in a tele with 2 QPS and it is almost an exact match.

How about the Double Quarter Pounder? And if it had a cover, "Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese"! I can see the lawsuit now! :smack:

Anyways, I bet a regular single coil with ceramic magnets and probably 43 AWG and 9,000(+ or - 500) winds would make a heck of a nice, heavy, bridge pup. The problem with that would be that the magnetic field of the pup would be rather strong, therefore pick up more noise, because of the round caps on the screws. You'd better either have a well shielded guitar, or make a stacked coil, humbucking version of it.

I, in fact, basically made one. I took my Duncan Woody and put cap screws on it because I wasn't pleased with the output and there wasn't enough bass. This was basically a lower impedance, ceramic stacked single coil (7.2K in series, but it was in parallel at about 1.8K). I've since disassembled it. Maybe one of these days I'll reassemble this pup into a strat cover and try it in a solid body... :32:

Thought I'd mention, as I increase my knowledge in electronics, I'm starting to mess around with active electronics, designing and building my own preamps and such, so this might be interesting.

Thanks Korinastratkyle,
Great info. !!!!!!
Thats kinda what I was wanting to hear about the pup, I like
playing on the verge of sonic meltdown ! Harmonics and feedback,
their great when you play like I do (Crap for ability, but a lot of
friends that dig the noise) :burnout:
Now if I can just get Mr. Duncan to make one of these things, HINT,
HINT !
Thanks,
Dave
Quarter pounder w/cheese, I like that !
Do you really have a Korina Strat ? :cool3:
