Anyone ever take one of these apart, they look like buckers but are single coils. Anyone have pix of the guts of one of these?

Looks like the magnets are lying on their side in the space where the other coil would be on a humbucker.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

Are they single coils? Have you removed the coil Possum? I'm just wondering why the two magnets? I had a National Lapsteel in one day that had two small coils side by side with the opposing poles of a horseshoe magnet on it's side....sigpic Dyed in the wool

Mine sounded okay. It just wasn't humbucking. I'd tell you and show you more about it, but I gave it to Mark Knopfler in 1987 or so. Have no idea what he did with it. I did pop the cover, though, at one point, and it is a kind of U-channel field. The fake polepieces are magnetically coupled to the magnet inside the actual coil.
People tend not to want to take them apart because those end pieces that look like they are ivory actually ARE ivory. Bust 'em and you won't find a replacement.

The bobbin looks like the ones in a Sekova Les Paul copy I used to have. They also look like Univox bobbins (probably made in the same factory.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
