This is much more akin to the construction of traditional single-coils. The Eldorado also notably has magnetic pole pieces providing its field, rather than screws atop a bar magnet. The signal, however, is not, and is instead made thicker and more ‘full.’ Splitting the pickup means taking the signal from only one of the coils, providing that single-coil snap from the same position on the same guitar. The pickup is described by Lollar as striking “a perfect balance between humbucker and split single-coil tones.” In normal operation, a humbucker is two coils wired in such a way that any noise picked up is out of phase with itself, therefore being cancelled out. READ MORE: Lollar announces the Novel Foil pickup, drop-in replacements for humbuckers.“Its been designed specifically to retain clarity and volume when coil-split. Aim for a pickup that has 12-14K resistance in HB mode and 5-7K in SC mode.Lollar has announced a new humbucker, the Eldorado. You can even get HB's that come in the size of single coils and if you get a push pull pot, you can have a HB tone and a SC tone with a switch in one pickup. Just to get a taste of what is out there.
Sorry, I didn't realise until after typing this that you are in India, but I assume there'd be other guitars to try. Most bands Im looking at use single-coil so I pulled the trigger on that, however TMP seems to use Humbuckers (which I didnt realise). and seriously check out Yamaha Pacificas, the high end ones are boutique quality and they have the best aspects of Strats but with some nice modern twists. These days, there's a thousand different amp companies and a thousand different guitar designs. The way some people talk on here, you'd still think it's 1970 (no offense to anyone who still thinks it's 1970). There's also PRS (hybrid LP/strat) and other options. There's so many HB's out there in so many shapes and sizes, it's hard to generalise other than to see that there's a flavour out for nearly everything that one would want to accomplish. HB's can take a hard pick attack (within reason). Otherwise there are too many factors and differences from guitar to guitar. If you try a HB strat, you can make a better comparison from HB to SC. unless you use thicker strings or raise the action.
By comparison Gibsons 24.75" scale is floppier. The scale length might contribute to your problem since the higher tension of 25.5 inches allows for a harder attack. But with a Floyd Rose or fixed bridge, a few extra frets and depending on the guitar, a similar neck or a thinner neck. For me Gibsons don't exist (just personal preference) although I do hope someday to get a 335 or 339.įor a superstrat, the body is a similar shape, same scale length and some similar tones if the HB's have coil taps. Because of the ubiquity of this error, and the rareness of coil taps in general, it is difficult to find tappable single coil pickups. In my world, the alternative to a single coil Fender guitar isn't a Gibson, it's a superstrat. Many guitarists mistakenly refer to humbucker coil splits as a coil taps, however, this is incorrect: a coil split is a humbucker with one coil removed from the wiring, leaving a single coil.
