I work for Bareknuckle. The warpig is the closest humbucker to the overwound sinner, it would just have a thicker tone, because it is a humbucker.
The Closest to the trilogy neck would be an Alnico V Miracle man, or a Nail bomb neck.

Ok Steve, sorry , I was not aware you work for BK....  :oops:

Just an idea: would it be possible (and interesting or completly stupid?) to make a HB with one coil "fake" to have these single coils tone in a HB size? The SC has a particular attack and treble I think (diiferent fom a Warpig/NB neck HB)

I am asking for this because I have a HH guitar that would love this tone monster ;-)

Maybe just a stupid idea....

Thats ok!
  A single coil gets its sound because of the bobbin shape and size, and because of the fact that the wire is wrapped around the magnets, not sat ontop of it like in a humbucker.
A HB with only onle coil would sound like a HB with a coil split, so it would be kind of like a single coil, but it wouldnt sound the same.

Dont worry, its not a stupid question. And anyway you only learn by asking!

Nevermind.
Thank you for the quick answer!
I will think about a Warpig set or Warpig bridge + NB neck...

Actually it's not such a stupid idea, companies like Dimarzio have used dummy coils in their designs and I've experimented with extreme coil offsets that sound very single coil like.
Steve is right though, any pickup derives it's tone not just from the wire and magnet type but the coil size and shape too.

So in general could you give me an idea of what the main differences are between a single and hummer given these factors?

i.e.

How would a split hummer sound if it were made of two single coils, and

How would a hummer sound different if it were made of two single coil like bobbins, rather than normal bobbins?

I say this as Im interested in copying the PRS 513 idea of using 5 singles! :twisted:

Pardon me being thick, but I thought Ced sort of meant, a single coil pickup, but in a humbucker sized package.

Just using normal Strat / Tele magnets, bobbins winds etc, but with a suitable method of mounting in a HB sized hole (and perhaps some cosmetic additions to hide the extra space)

A bit like the MQ being a P90 in a humbucker size.
