Split Humbuckers
How can you find out the DC Resistance of one of the coils of humbuckers from the specifications on this site? Tapped single coils appear to be approximately half of the full coil, is it the same with humbuckers?
Re: Split Humbuckers
Yup. DC resistance divided by 2 will give you one coil - with two exceptions:
Duckbuckers and Vintage Rails are DC resistance times two. (For one coil.)
Re: Split Humbuckers
also, doesn't the pearly gates have mismatched coils?

Re: Split Humbuckers
welcome to the board .. the guys had it right about split double coils ...
note: one can get a single coil tapped just about anywhere in the wind ... it neednt be restricted to approx. half

Re: Split Humbuckers
Thanks a lot, you've probably saved me a lot of money on trying out various pickups. So standard wiring for duckbuckers and vintage rails, and that other one, is parallel?
Re: Split Humbuckers
Ooops . . . forgot about the PG.
Yes, sorta . . . VR's and Duck's are parallel, PG's are coils of two different values, so divide-by-two won't work.
And while we're on the subject, the new VR's and Ducks are 4-wire, so that you can connect them any way you want.
