Hi,
1) What is the phantom pickup? Is it an active pickup that is underneath the pickguard (ie hidden?) does that mean the single coil and humbucker are passive?
2) I know the physical difference between a resistor being in series or parallel but what does it mean sound wise with respect to pickups?
3) Can someone please explain the different sound/style/use each configuration generates? see attachment
Coil 1- Humbucker coil closest to bridge
Coil 2- Humbucker coil farthest from bride
Coil 3- Single coil at the neck
+-series
&-parallel
Coil 3 + Phantom
Coil 2+3
Coil 1+3&2
Coil 1+Phantom
Coil 1+2
