  • Coil tapping..

    So I've just recently got into winding pickups... so far so good. Took me a few try's to get used to it.. but it's actually pretty stinkin' fun I think.

    I wanna try my hand out some coil tapping. I mostly mess with p90/jazzmaster type pickups. I think it would be great to have a few taps per pickup to compare tonal characteristics between different outputs.

    So first of all.. how does it work.. how do you wind a pickup to tap the different outputs. Would you wind to the many wraps you need for the lowest output then solder then solder it to a separate eyelet then keep wrapping to your next output? I'm just guessing.. I really don't know how it works.

    Would there be any tonal differences if I just wound two pickups of the different outputs instead of putting them both in one?

    Am I making sense?

    That's what you do.
    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
