Hum Cancelling Single Coil Wanted:

No....:BH:

I have been gassin for one for quite some time now, than I broke my hand and collar bone so no guitar for more time without...:mad:

But when the club on my hand and sling comes off, that will be my next ....
 
The only noiselss Strat pickups I've that I like had are the Kinmans. Don't like most hum free singlecoils at all, but the Kinmans are recognizably Stratty and quite quiet. Not sure about the internals so I can't say whether they'd be a good candidate for reworking. Also, they're pricey.

I've heard the YJMs are pretty good but have never owned any. Thay do have exposed poles but I don't know whether they're actually rod mags - could be slugs with a bar mag underneath.

No bar magnets on DiMarzios. See photo above.

Looking for a hum cancelling single coil (Strat type) for a project. I plan on altering the windings, so it should be a cheapo and needs to have exposed pole pieces.

Thanks...

There is no such thing as a hum cancelling single coil. (sometimes these are called "stacked single coil," but they are 2 coils not single.)
It's actually 2 coils not a single coil PU.
These 2 coils are wired in series to make a humbucking pickup. (usually has 4 conductor wiring + shield).
The best one is probably the Gatton design JBE pickup.
This PU sounds just like a stock Fender strat PU but the noise is cancelled, the output is about doubled...

You are correct, I just use the term out of habit....

This man is preaching one of my favorite sermons!

This is a point I make frequently, as well.
 
Robert, I have those Iron Gear Strat Sets. I'm pretty sure the middle pickup is reverse wound if that's what you are looking for.

PM me...

I interpret this as you saying you want a Humbucker in a single coil wrapper. Single coil sized HUMBUCKER pup but quiet and sounds like a HUMBUCKER not a SINGLE coil sound as Robert Despises Single coil sound.

Well, I want to make a stacked humbucker for a chum's Stratocaster, and I been looking for a used one, because I need to grind the magnets down to get rid of the wolf tone inducing, vintage stagger.

Guess I am not following a stacked humbucker. SO his guitar body has to be extra deep to accept a double deep single?

Now I see it
