I'll admit, I'm an options freak! I love having choices and gadgets, push-pull knobs that actually mean something...
When I bought this guitar, the electronics bay was fairly well gutted. I ended up replacing both pickups and for the fun of it, I coil tapped them! So both my tone controls are push-pull pots so I can coil tap either humbucker. Depending on the mood of the electricity in my house, I may or may not pick up any noise. Tonight everything was nice and quiet so I loaded up my test riff. To hear this guitar with both humbuckers look here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8678079/
That is the difference coil taps make on an LP style guitar! =^^=
All my tests are recorded through a Fender Mustang III amplifier plugged straight into my PC's USB port, and recorded using Audacity. The setting is stock #93, Basic '65 Twin. It is a good clean amp sound with no fancy effects to hide anything, or make anything sound better for all that matters!
*Disclaimer / common text*
This is a sound check to do some A-B comparisons between various settings on my guitars. In short this is to help me answer my own questions about what is the different tone between an El Cheapo import, versus the genuine US article.
Also this is to tell the difference between the various pickup settings, bridge vs neck. Or parallel vs series, or coil tapped where applicable.
Perhaps to put this most succintly: I'm bored and this is a way to pass the time! :D

You know, the weird thing is that I have changed nothing...
Coil taps give the brighter single coil sound, but at the risk of hum and noise. I did update my drivers on my PC, but even playing through my amp, I notice a change in the sound! Single coils pick up noise, period. Unless you shield the crap out of them, in which case they lose a little top end. Frankly, I'm inpressed with what i am hearing! =^^=
