Re: Novice Question

When you coil split you reduce or eliminate the signal coming from one of the humbucker's coils. This thins out the tone and reduces output.

When you do this, which coil are you dialing out?

I'm guessing this is a manual adjustment and not a selector switch position? Obviously I know nothing about this.

The screw coil on the bridge and the slugs on the neck get dialed out.

Most people wire it in with a switch, If you ground the red/white pair of wires it will remove one of the coils from your signal. You can either do it with a mini switch, or certain wirings (mostly with a type of pickup selector called a super switch) allow you to split with the pickup selector switch.

I'm thinking the Super Switch'll be my best option. Thanks.

Now, would single-coil sized HBs be overkill?

I don't think so. What pickups are you looking at?

Maybe Little '59 neck, Red Devil middle. Doesn't appear to be too many middle choices. I guess I could stick w/ a rw/rp single coil.
