Hello,
I have a question about my musicman stingray5 with piezo.Can you explain me what is exactly "Phantom coil"?
Thank you!

Papobass, welcome to the forum! The phantom coil is a 3rd coil on your humbucking pickup. The coil itself doesn't make any sound. It eliminates the 60 cycle hum when you've got the pickup selector in the middle position (single coil closest to bridge). It basically creates a pseudo humbucker to eliminate the hum, although you only hear the one coil.

Great answer AJ!!

Now, do you happen to know when "Phantom of the Opera" was first written?

 

[A.J.]

It was introduced as a serial in September of 1909 actually.

What??!!!

How did you??!!!!

Man, this is unbelievable!!

AJ, you need to get booked on Jeopardy!!

Or "Dancing With Customer Service".

I'd watch that.

Or that new show....

"Aces of Google."

I'm thinking of trying out for the Image category.
