Coil Tapping a Humbucker

[socalscott]

Hi,
"Coil Tapping"[not coil-splitting] a humbucker means you're lower its output correct? So, if i were to coil tap a high output 15~17k humbucker, then that would put it around 7.5~8.5k, maybe?
So, would that be the same a using a low output humbucker like a '59[~8k]?

Thanks!

Yes, output is lowered, but you've mixed the result with splitting. If you want tapping to get the 8k, you'd need a tap for each coil at mid wind.
Your hi-output HB doesn't do the tapping trick.
