You can tri it if you like, it's never been a popular option though.

Isn't something like that called a motherbucker? I've always wondered how they sounded.

I think Hamer got there first with the Prototype (http://www.hamerfanclub.com/proto.html) model in 1980.

I suspect that the sound with all 3 coils in series might be... big. Dunno how big. Possibly too big (although that's ok, as long as it's not too too big)
