Is it still possible to coil tap with a Liberator installed?

Of course. You can wire up any fancy configuration, like coil splits, phase, series/parallel, and the beauty is that all of that custom wiring will never need to be touched. Only the pickup wires are swapped at the screw terminal. If you throw in another pickup only to realize it's out of phase with the other, or your coil split isn't cancelling hum with the other pickup, you can just swap the coils around solder free at the Liberator.

Also if you want to hear what coil split or phase inverted sounds like before committing to the push/pull or mini toggle, you can just put one coil into hot and ground, or invert phase right at the screw terminal, so that you can listen to it and decide if you like it. Then install the push/pull or mini toggle.

This is way to cool.not much at soldering so this will allow me to have several pickup combos to swap out whenever I get tried of the old ones. Sweet!
 
Re: Seymour Duncan Liberator

Here's another option that I have been using in my CV Tele for the last couple months along with a strat model that I've used for the last 2 years with no problems and it's solderless. It's pricey but worth it.

Re: Seymour Duncan Liberator

i want to get one for my Fender Standard Fat Stratocaster HSS MiM, which has 1 volume and 2 tone pots and a 5-way selector.

Seymour Duncan Liberator solderless pickup change is a replacement for the volume pot, right? Is there a Liberator for 5-way selector switch? No point if i still need to solder the pickups to the 5-way switch.

Did Seymour Duncan address this? I hope a Liberator 5-way Switch is not over $50
 
Re: Seymour Duncan Liberator

Mr Frank Falbo,

I tried to PM you but your mailbox is full, Is Seymour Duncan releasing a 5-way Selector Switch? I think a better name would be Seymour Duncan 'Solder-free' Pickup Change System (SFPCS).

I think you already hear a lot of comments regarding the name 'Liberator', It would be prudent to change the name before the other company (which offers special products), assuming they have copyrights to the 'Liberator' name, decide to pursue legal matters; copyright litigation is costly and i sincerely doubt the profits for selling the solderless pickup change would cover those.

Just a thought of caution.
 
Re: Seymour Duncan Liberator

When is the Liberator shipping? I haven't seen it for sale anywhere.
A solderless switch and jack would be awesome. I've been tempted to switch to EMG's for this very reason: I switch pickups a lot and hate to solder and unsolder constantly.
 
Re: Seymour Duncan Liberator

Pretty soon. There's one more packaging item coming this week and then we're shipping.

As for the solderless switch and jack, the main premise behind the Liberator and the subsequent release of some prewired harnesses is "solderless where you need it, soldered where you don't"
 
Re: Seymour Duncan Liberator

So what's the timeline looking like for prewired pickguards and prewired harnesses?
 
Re: Seymour Duncan Liberator

I had my Liberator pre-ordered with Guitar Center for January 28 ship date.

Now they are saying it might ship the Feb 20th.
What gives Frank and Even?
 
Re: Seymour Duncan Liberator

Wahoo, my liberator came yesterday.
I'll get some burnt fingers but I'm stoked.

If my Texas hot Antiqutis come by the end of the week I'll be even happier
