Members Strung_Out Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 After eyeing it for a few days and convincing myself that I needed it (easy to do I know), I finally pulled the trigger on one of my dream guitars: a goldtop with P90s. A 2011 Gibson LP Traditional Pro with coil tapped P90's, has a nice fat neck (very much like the 50's shape on my standard), nice weight at 9.25lbs, and just a great tone.

That is one seriously gorgeous, wonderfully classy axe. HNGD! I have a question, though: "coil-tapped P90s"? How the heck does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Smilin' Bob Posted April 19, 2013 Members Share Posted April 19, 2013 Beautiful guitar - congrats!But coil taps are used to split the dual coils on humbuckers so they'll sound like single coils. I don't understand how single coil P90s could be coiled tapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chipwich Posted April 19, 2013 Members Share Posted April 19, 2013 Mmmm. The gold top, binding, and dark wood on the body make for a beautiful combination. Add the P90s and yes, that's a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members honeyiscool Posted April 19, 2013 Members Share Posted April 19, 2013 People still confuse coil tapping with splitting. Splitting takes an entire reverse wired coil out of the circuit. Tapping takes a percentage of windings in one coil out of the circuit. A single coil pickup can only be tapped. A humbucker can be tapped as well as split.
