Aloha new friends!
I just got my awesome HSHP GC delivered yesterday. I knew going in that they are discontinued, but I've wanted one since launch, and when I had the opportunity to snag a pristine example for a flat grand, I jumped.
I've already gone through and really dug into the configuration using the web app, but I now have a question for all of you.
When setting up coils to work in series, does the position you choose to "jump" the signal from one coil to another make a difference in how they sound? For example, the "stock" setup for the bridge pickup coils in series looks like this:
|
v
-O-0=0=0=0=0=0=
=0=O-O-O-O-O-O-
But you can set it up to run in series in any number of ways, right? Like this:
|
v
-O-O-O-0=0=0=0=
=0=0=0=0-O-O-O-
Or even like this:
|
v
=0=0=0-O-O-O-O-
-O-O-O=0=0=0=0=
So my question is: Does this have any impact on the sound or output of that pickup? Or is it just that making a jump from one coil to another tells the guitar "wire in series" and it doesn't matter how you do it? I've tried testing it but if there is a difference, it is subtle, and I admit it could be entirely psychosomatic on my end.
I'd love to get some input here!
