ashasha3 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I've been modifying guitars for years to get more tonal options out of them and have owned some nice ones that do them to include a PRS513 and an EBMM Gamechanger. Great guitars, but the JTV's acoustic and alt tuning capabilities really intrigued me so I bit. There are some issues here and there with some of the models, but with the editor I've been able to dial in some pretty good tones and while it's a modelling guitar it's pretty impressive. Except for one massive oclusion. Where the heck is the option to wire a single humbucker for parallel operation? I'm talking about the good old 4 wire humbucker being wired up in parallel rather than series. This is probably my single favorite tone of any pickup and with all of the options we have under the hood of this thing I cannot for the life of me believe that this was not implemented. I assumed that I just didn't see it, but I've been through the editor, the manuals, the forums and it apparently isn't even on the radar. So I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction and educate me. If not then I wonder if anyone else is missing this and if we could try to get it implemented in a future update. I'm new here so I don't know how reactive they are to suggestions; I've seen some companies that ignore their user base and some that really jump on suggestions and look for innovation. It just seems like something that the JTV series was made to do to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 You can't do it with a single humbucker, but you could take two single coils and put them close together wherever you want on the body and wire them in parallel. I don't know if it would give you the sound you're after, but it would be worth trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
