Sparky Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 For those of you who have coil splitting capability, I was wondering what guitar came to mind when you split the coils. For me, my H170 sounds very close to a Tele. Compressed and snarly. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentrocks Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 i have push/pulls on the Silverburst's HRWs and it is a little twangy....i need to spend more time with that option on that guitar to really get a feel for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Personally, I've never heard split coils on any of my guitars that I actually liked. That was even with pickups designed to actually BE single coils when split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Coil tapping... hmm... That's what Strats & Teles are for! Seriously though, I'm with Kenny on this one. In order for the coil splitting to sound acceptable, you need to have some HIGH output humbuckers. I, for one, don't want to sacrifice the tone of the humbucker for a below par Tele/Strat tone. So if I want a single coil tone, I play my Tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heririck Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I agree that the coil split on my 150 is a compromise. Also the playing feel is so different. I had to sell my Strat to buy my bass. Such problems. But at least I can pretend I'm playing a Fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
