I've been mulling over the idea of putting coil taps in the humbuckers of my reissue '72 Telecaster Deluxe. Does anyone know whether this is possible with the pickups in this model? If so, has anyone done it to let me know how it sounds? I'd appreciate any input you may have.

You can't tap the coils in these pickups as they are potted. Different coil wiring configurations can be done however.

Hi Martian, and thanks for the input. No big deal either way. I was just curious as to whether it could be done. Thanks again! 8)
