[guitarpunk]

do any of the balls have a push/pull coil tap on them? If not have anyone ever put one on there axe???

 

[Colin]

I have one on my EVH

Well I was thinking that it would be cool if I had one in my Sub 1.... I wanted to know also if it would be hard to do it myself or would it be expensive to have it done professionally by a guitar tech....

G-punk,

Pick-ups are the MOST important aspect of "push/pull coil tap. You may want to keep that in mind before you modify a non-PPC tap set-up.

it's an easy job for an experienced repairer. My guitar only had 2 wires coming off the pickups and he just add an extra 2 an presto single coil sounds.

4 SiLOs with EMG 89 pups. Coil tapped via a push pull switch. I love it.

So I still didn't get the answer if it would be expensive to have the guitar tech do it for me????

 

[TNT]

Depends, are you changing your pups???

Thanks for that info NorM. Did you have to do anything different to coil tap the EMG's. I was under the impression you couldn't tap active pickups.

You'll probably have to go into a few shops and ask what they'd charge. Every shop has a different bench rate. Although, they should be close to the same price. You shouldn't have to pay anymore than about $30-$40 +parts to install a push/pull and have it coil tapped.

Thank you so much for helping me out and giving me the answer to my question...

I had it done on one of my Axis guitars and was not that impressed with the sound at all. Had it taken out in the end.

Like TNT said coil tapping is very dependent on the humbucker you are tapping----most dont sound that great tapped--some are WAY better than others tapped. Me personally--I've never heard a tapped sound that I liked--YMMV!!
