Special Humbuckers
For many years, humbuckers have been available with coil taps. Normally, this means the ability to use one coil instead of both.
However, coil taps can be placed anywhere between the start and end of the (two coil) circuit. All of our special series humbuckers have more than one coil tap.

The Fire models and the Ghostrider have one coil tap in each coil, providing the ability to switch between a bright humbucker sound and a darker, fatter sound.

The Fire series also have two coil taps but intended to be switched independently. One of them operates to switch between a balanced humbucker sound and the slightly sleazier sound of an unbalanced humbucker. The other switches between a humbucker sound and a bright “single coil” style sound. Each of the Fire series produces exactly the sounds of two standard humbuckers.
