Hi! I have question about second option sound from my pickups. Basically i used humbuckers. But I like single coil sound too, especially for cleans.
Maybe I'm saying heresy, but I think that with a well-chosen resistor (partial split coil) you can get very close to the sound of a single (usually 1.2-1.5k).
I'm building my new pickguard for my strat. It will most likely be an SH-1 bridge and a little 59 neck.
For the bridge I know I'll use a partial split coil. I don't know what to do with the neck of a Little 59 though. I've never had one. I've heard that parallel sounds better. I've never liked parallel with regular humbuckers, I preferred partial split.
Has anyone compared it side by side with partial split? Or will I have to spend some time testing...
Best Regards
