Coil tap a Motherbucker? - Harmony Central Musician Community Forums

timrocker · 11-07-2009, 11:04 AM

Hi DIY's,
I have a Mighty Mite Motherbucker pickup that I like a lot in the bridge position of my strat.

It has 3 conductors and a ground. The three wires are red & blue (currently taped/soldered together), and black (currently position 1 on the strat 5-way switch). Ground of course goes to shell of volume pot.

Can I coil tap this pickup? What goes to what? I will be using a Fender version of the Stew-Mac E-switch that automaticallly shuts off one coil of the bucker when you go to position two.

Thanks!

Remove the tape from the two wires soldered together, then add a switch from that connection to ground
