Stacked vs humbucker

Re: Stacked vs humbucker

Is it possible to get a cover for a Single sized humbucker that makes it look like an uncovered Tele bridge? That would be pretty sweet!

Probably! Didn't MJ do that for Billy Gibbons? I remember watching a video of her saying that she made a tele bridge pickup that sounded exactly like the Pearly Gates

How about a hybrid, like one coil from a Little '59 and one from a JB Jr? Do those single size humbuckers actually come apart, does anyone know?

The new ones, no. But the original old ones might- they didn't really have a cover, just 2 coils with tape around them (like a humbucker).

Okay, I think I've got it. First step, Custom Shop single coil size humbucker, each coil specifically wound to it's individual tone profile. Next, a bit of foil tape and a Bobbin Topper. Screw the pole pieces flush, put down a line of the foil tape, finish with the Topper. That should look okay from stage distance.
