Has anyone tried a single coil with 3 outputs before?
Got any Badges, Posters, Stickers or T-shirts?
Dire straits.

I've had to make them several times before-success really depends on the wire guage-too many taps on 42 gauge and  the tone can get really thin.

Hi Stephan

I've got one in a Tele at the Bridge

Had to put push pull pots in both the Volume and Tone to get them working.

It is possible but like I said, very tricky to make so that it will be reliable.
