Wiring HBs for Split and/or Parallel
Obviously, the normal HB tone is going to be the primary consideration for choosing a particular pickup, but I was wondering how many of you use the other wirings, and whether you had found any one model to be more versatile than the others for this sort of thing. Thanks in advance for your info.

I've found that HB's built as two singles together give a more authentic split coil sound,but i'm not discovering anything new here...lots of ppl have tried that over the years...  
There are a few manufacturers out there doing their take on this,Duncan and Anderson come to mind...  
I have a H3 HB by Anderson on one of my guitars and i find the split mode to sound more like a p-90 than a real single,maybe their H2 is more authentic at that...
