I have a Les Paul Supreme and I have been thinking about changing out the pickups as I dont really care for the clean tone.
I personally dont think that you can get a good clean tone out of humbuckers (just my taste maybe).
So before I spend the scratch on replacement pickups I would like to check out coil tapping the pickups to see if that makes me happier.
I dont like adding switches as I just dont like the look and Im not adverse to push/pull pots but I have heard there is a way of using the tone controls to act as a coil tap when the tone control is rolled right off which would suit me better than push/pull pots anyway.
Does anyone know if this is correct? and if it is possible to do could someone help me out and explain how I would go about doing the mod?
If it is indeed possible and I check it out and am still not happy with the stock pickups then when I change the pups I will still want to use this idea with the replacement pups.
I dont use the tone controls anyway so they may as well be put to some use :twisted:
