Rewired Jagmaster humming/clicking

[axpro]

P-Rails aren't really humbuckers, they are two single coil pickups stuck together. My limited experience with installing them on someone's guitar was that the two coils sound too much alike, and with the two in series they were very muddy. In parallel it wasn't too exciting either. It's a good concept, but it needs tweaking.

I fixed the issue of the different settings sounding too similar by tuning the coils with caps. Then it really sounded like a Strat or P-90.

Now if they tapped the coils so in humbucker mode they used half the windings on each coil, that would sound better.

Really?

I dug em, had them in a few customers guitars, and then had them in my McCarty for a while (till i sold the McCarty) been trying to find the next guitar to put em in. I of course like really really dark tones, so that might be part of it... I didn't use them in series too much, mostly in p-90 and parallel.

ah well, different strokes...
