I'm interested in the new SR 5 thru-body. It comes w/either the series humbucker(3 pos. switch), or the phantom coil/parallel(5 pos. switch). Anyone have any experience w/both?....benefits, 1 or the other?
Thanx in advance!

Hey Jibber,

Current SR5 does not have the phantom coil in either pickup configuration, on the single H version, the filter allows for a sound similar to a single coil sound in the middle switch position.

With 2 hum-buckers you have more variety of sounds, neck hum-bucker having a rounder tone due to its position on the instrument.
