Have any of you guys heard of Zexcoil pickups? I was on steviesnacks.com (an online guitar lesson site) and at the bottom of each video they show the gear they use. I noticed the pickups look a little exotic (like the Parallel Axis from Seymour Duncan but with slanted pole pieces). After a tad bit of research I found this site and noticed that there are a lot of wiring possibilities. www.zexcoil.com/forum/index.php?topic=14.0 My idea would be a two pickup guitar, two humbuckers, with traditional coil splitting and top and bottom string splitting. Any thoughts? |

Never seen nor heard of these, but the idea is certainly tempting to try!
Of course, I'm sure we'll hear the lament that all 6 coils are not individually accessible. Probably hear it from 4real, I'm guessing . . .
This has me in mind of the old Gretsch stereo pickups, as on the stereo White Falcons from the '60's, where half of the strings went to each channel.

I have to admit, I like the way he textually described how to hook up all the wires to the push-pull switch on the pot - nearly as good as a picture.  BTW, vF, how the Hellrya?! ;D |

Yeah, I was thinking some dual channel action to have really crisp highs and the low three strings running into my Octave Multiplexer to get a bluesy style with a lot of thump.
Looks like there is only one way to find out. I'll probably buy one and go from there. I'll report back with the findings once I get it.
Thanks for asking Sum. I'm doing well, pretty busy between work and school as I am trying to graduate as soon as possible. I'm trying to make more time for jamming and working on my guitars and bikes though.
