I saw a pair of these at a local guitar show, wondering what they might be like.
Anybody have any experience with the Unbuckers?
TIA,
Bill

sounds great for those that want more of a single coil snap to their tone.
In humbucker mode, the Unbucker is very similar to a PAF type tone - just a tad more P90-ish. IMHO that is a good thing. A bit more articulation as well as some of the other positive qualities of a single coil pickup, but clearly a humbucker all the way.
FROM FRALIN SITE,
In our Unbucker, we wind the screw coil stronger than the slug coil. This makes the pickup sound a little more single coil, but the best reason to do this is for coil tapping. When tapped the stronger coil is active as opposed to half a pickup. Our best selling set of these is 7.5K neck (4.5-3) and 8.5 Bridge (5-3.5) 3 conductor lead with a Vintage Hot reverse middle in-between. (Humb.-single-Humb.).
Combining the two coils gives a total ohm reading or approximate output to compare to normal humbuckers.
