'Coyote Dancer' original strat mod with Slantbucker


This axe started life as a Grizzly kit. It has an alder body, rock maple neck with indian rosewood FB with abalone inlays. Pickups have alnico 5 polepieces and are wound to about 5.5k. I mounted the middle pickup next to the bridge and moved the whole 'slantbucker' assembly closer to the bridge than stock. Then I wired a DPDT on/on/on mini toggle to switch the two coils of the slantbucker between; parallel, series and single. Then I wired it up as a two pickup guitar using a 5 position mega switch to choose; Neck alone, Neck and Slantbucker in parallel, Neck and Slantbucker in series, Neck and Slantbucker in series out of phase, and Slantbucker alone. A total of 13 combinations, six of which use all three coils and four of which use two or more coils in series. With the Slantbucker in series with the neck my meter reads a whopping 15.75k and my amp complains sweetly. Two low impedence single coil pickups with magnet pole pieces wired up as a humbucker is a unique sound. Seymour D makes a humbucker with magnet polepieces. I can't remember what the name is, but you can hear the sound samples on the SD site.
