  • coil tap

    i bought emg h1a humbucking passive pickups, and i would like to wire them so that i have 1 tone 1 volume, 3way switch, and that the tone pot is a push/pull so that i can coil tap it.
    can i do that?
    wiring schematic?

    EMG uses the same color codes as DiMarzio, so you can use this as a guide:

    Free information : DiMarzio Humbucking Pickups at Stewart-MacDonald

    Yu want the "coil cut" switch. "Tapping" is something different.

    Here's the EMG instructions, but they don't tell how to switch the pickup to single coil:

    All you have to do is switch the black/white wires to either ground or hot, depending on which coil you want to cut.
    It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure. — Albert Einstein
