Scott	Re: tinkering with a humbucker Gots one in the neck. I had a 15+K Ibanez piece-O shyte and rods drastically sent it in a brighter open tone in the bridge position. The neck pos. is really nice, but the screw/bar mag coil was changed to a 4K coil. Great pup, a bit bright for bridge though. The split mode is sweet, but it is a 7.8K wind. Vol. roll-off gets into the strat zone. FYI, SK has smoking reviews(Harmony.com)on his "Dual Tones". Basically a bar mag coil and a rod coil. Select between P90 thang, Fendery thang and/or humbucker. Again the HB mode is not like a PAF, at least my tinkerings anyways. I like better than standard HB'ers as I prefer P90's.
