    I also tried various methods of creating tapped pickups with bi-filar winding.

    I wound a single coil with 42 HFV and 43 Poly using this method. The result wasn't what I was hoping, but it worked OK.

    Perhaps different wire combinations and/or starting with just one and adding in the second may work better ...

    I ended up using 4 conductor wire and connecting to a blend pot in place of a tone control, which worked in allowing one or both in parallel ... which doesn't give the additional power I was hoping (perhaps wiring into series with a standard Pot may have just been better )

    Many options/possibilities

      Same here, it's usuable, but for me so far not worth the effort, to mass produce.
      Mine was 42 gauge inner coil and a 43 outer coil.
      I just finished the Stacked Bridge pickup.
      I will test it tomorrow.
      When I take the Tapped P/U out of the test guitar, I may rewind it more like the Seymour model.

        Me too, the bi-filar thing was a non-starter, dropped it, moved on.
