Author Topic: Single coil sized humbuckers? (Read 1971 times)

I just won this on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7418217170 . I had purchased a Miracle Man for an ESP LTD Alexi-600, but am returning that guitar so I could afford the ESP Forest GT. I plan on putting the miracle man in the bridge of the forest GT, but would like something like cold sweet in the neck in a single coil size. Are such things made by BKP's? I haven't received the guitar yet, so I do not know how the neck pickup sounds, but I am always looking at my options.

Thanks!

Tim has a very low opinion of single coil sized humbuckers.

Tim might be able to wind you a single coil that could you in the neighborhood. The Trigoly Suites are pretty hot and I know Tim has wound some even hotter. So he probably can help.

I think we're really looking at sinner territory here :twisted: Search for clips in the player's forum. They're powerful enough to challenge humbuckers (they're around the Nailbomb's D.C. resistance) and they sound AWESOME.

I saw the sinner, but I have heard such good things about the cold sweet I was hoping to get something like that in a single coil size for the neck.

The sinner sounded really good, I emailed Tim to see if he could voice a single coil similarly to the tone of the cold sweet. Possibly with ceramic magnets.
