The Pickup Place / Re: Satch Track vs Bluesbucker (bridge position)

The partial split is most beneficial with humbuckers with nearly identical coils as they are usually designed purely for the humbucker tone (i.e. coils in series). Keep in mind that when the humbucking pickup was invented in the mid 50s the goal was to eliminate hum. Nobody thought of using only one coil as that would have defeated its purpose of eliminating the hum. Only later splitting of the humbuckers became popular in an attempt to get Fender-like tones out of a dual humbucker guitar.
With the Bluesbucker, a partial split is not "necessary"as the single coil tone has almost the same output, because it was designed for that. Of course there is nothing wrong in trying, and if you prefer the partial split to the regular split it is your choice.
