Questions: YJM Pickup and Pickup Value

New member
I have Fender Malmsteen Stratocaster with Seymour's Pickup. I doing research. Have wiring in guitar full, split or tapped? I didn't change wiring or anything. And I'll never change. This pickup set is awesome. I have one more question. Why is changing pickup's D.C. and kHz value according to the position? Can If I want to neck positions pickup features move to bridge or bridge to neck? Thanks..

The duncan YJM is a stack. One larger coil and then a smaller dummy coil to cancel hum but also to tweak tone. I think they are a sort of series, where you hear the tapped result. The dummy coil essentially is a negative effect I think.
 
Re: Questions: YJM Pickup and Pickup Value

The business of offering pickups of increasing output (from neck to bridge) is to compensate for differences in string excursion and the harmonics that dominate at the respective distances along the vibrating string.

Yes, you could use a "neck" pickup in the bridge position or a "bridge" pickup in the neck position but they might not sound right in terms of tone or relative signal levels.

When I examine to SD pickup, there is too different to khz and k value. Like a Original Parallel Axis Value Neck: 6.9 KHz, Bridge: 4.5 KHz, / Neck: 7.5 k, Bridge: 15.7 k.
I don't know pickup to switch, pot wiring etc. I thought electrical things in this value variation. Because bridge is more treble than neck but khz higher in neck position. I don't think because of completely relative acoustic position.
