Is anyone intimately familiar with this? It's a cool idea, I'm wondering if any aftermarket pickup builders have anything like that.
Here's what I'm really after: A humbucker with a coil tap switch that sounds good in either position. For my purposes that means, in the bridge position, the output would have to be around 7k in single coil mode and around 9k as a humbucker. If you just used a normal 9k 4 wire humbucker and wired a standard coil tap, (assuming matched coils) you'd only have a 4.5k single coil.. too weak.
What if the tapped coil had the right number of extra wire wraps waiting on standby that would be switched ON when toggled into single-coil mode to bring it up to 7k total (sort of like what the PRS 513 does, right?) That is a product I would buy right now.. does anyone make it?
