Was doing some pickup swapping yesterday and accidentally nicked a coil on my Duncan Custom. Oops! So I did the testing on this page: https://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/latest-updates/how-to-test-guitar-pickups-with-a-multimeter and it appears that the adjustable south coil is toast. No reading at all on it. North coil reads at 7.0 or so. So of course being a tinkerer I'm thinking this is an opportunity to make a hybrid with the north coil, and I figured I'd share some thoughts here and see what you all think.
1. First, I know I've seen a guide to doing this, can someone link me? Having a bit of trouble finding it.
2. 59/Custom hybrid is an obvious choice. I have a 59 laying around. Done and done.
3. I love the 59, so why not make another hybrid with the other coil? Some pickups I haven't quite found a use for are the JB, Jazz, Super Distortion, and X2N... would any of these be enhanced by a 59 coil? (In general I find the Jazz a bit bland and the other three a bit too pummeling)
4. Why do I keep making rookie mistakes 20 years into this hobby? Silly man.
