I should note This is for something I am going to try: having a tone zone s in the bridge and a cruiser bridge model in the neck—no other pickups. It will have a five way super switch and the 3rd pickup selector position will have one coil of each pickup to make quieter jangle sound.

Ahhhhh okay!
Thanks for the info!
Just to be clear, does that mean the south coil may be louder?
I’m interested because I want to split the pickup so I hear the louder coil.
Thank you!!!

The Pickup Place / One coil with more winds?
« on: September 24, 2020, 09:58:40 PM »
Hi all! Quick question:
Dimarzio puts more winds around one of the coils in its single-coil sized humbuckers than the other. Which coil gets the most winds? The north or south coils?
I ask because I want to know which to split.
Thanks!

Thanks for the insight, darkbluemurderstephan!
This is a roasted alder guitar with a single volume and single tone, and Will have a 5-way super switch.

The Pickup Place / Chopper and cruiser (bridge) balance?
« on: September 18, 2020, 12:25:06 AM »
Hi all!
I want to use a Cruiser bridge model in the neck and a chopper in the bridge of my guitar. I know the cruiser bridge model needs a 500k volume pot and 500k tone pot when it’s in the neck position. But my favorite setup for the chopper is a 500k vol pot and a 250k tone.
Would a resistor make this combo possible for me? If so, What value resistor would I need and where would i solder it?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!!!!

So to achieve a hum-free sound I would have to split each pickup so only the outer coils were operating, giving a quieter telecaster type of sound.
Though I wonder how a split coil on a Cruiser would sound—probably pretty subdued.

The Pickup Place / Pickup splitting Hum
« on: December 07, 2018, 11:57:53 PM »
I have a quick question that, hopefully, someone can answer.
Imagine a 2-pickup guitar with a mini rail pickup, a cruiser, in the neck and a full sized humbucker in the bridge.
My question:
If I were to make the middle position of my 3-way switch operate the full neck pickup and the bridge humbucker spilt (so, only the bridge is split), would there be 60 cycle hum???
Thank you for any insight you can give me.

Thanks for the insight.
Let me ask you about your tone, if you do not mind.
Using the Chopper with 500k pots, do you find the pickup loses the percussive low end that pickups has? That is my fear in using two 500pots with Chopper.
Oh, and then there is the question on a Cruiser bridge model or neck model in the neck position. I suppose bridge model is best with two 500k pots.
What is a “resistor in parallel to ground”?
Thank you.

What time are you looking for? A round mound of neck sound, or something more cutting and articulate? The first pickups that came to mind were Humbucker From Hell and he illuminator.

« on: November 22, 2018, 09:13:46 AM »
Okay, so a 24.75 scale doesn’t necessitate brighter pots. Correct?
I suppose I will try them with 500k vol and 500k tone, even though I have read that some have said the Chopper gets too trebly with that configuration. Hopefully the shorter scale will mellow that out.
I keep hearing that the cruiser bridge can be muddy if not with 500k pots, yet Dimarzio advises 250k on its site, so I am confused. Throw in the whole issue of a shorter scale instrument and I realize I have to rely on the wisdom of more experienced tone-chasers.
The only other pickup I know that is cruiser-like is the Lace Sensor Light Blue, but I would like to use the cruiser as I feel it would have better sustain.

The Pickup Place / Chopper. Cruiser. 24.75". Pots?
« on: November 21, 2018, 08:23:28 PM »
Hello all! I am getting ready to build a warmth custom and am nailing down pickups and electrics.
It's a tele-type guitar with a roasted alder body, maple neck and ebony fretboard.
A strat-sized neck and bridge pickup cavity (not tele style).
This is a 24.75" scale guitar.
I have really liked the Chopper in the bridge in two other guitars I have had. Both of those instruments were 25.5 scale and had a 500k volume and 250k tone pot.
And I would like to have a cruiser in the neck position (a cruiser bridge model or neck model--not sure which).
My question is, what value pots should I choose? Does the shorter scale factor into that decision?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
