  • Biography
    Making music has been a refuge since I was 8 years old, an ever-present way to communicate with or isolate from, and connect with or detach from, everything else.

    Exploring music revealed that I was an old man when I was younger, enjoying the present as best I could and killing time while waiting for the end. It did not happen. As an old man, I am much younger, and enjoying the present. I do not kill time anymore.

    Favorite quote: "I shall be a sinful man to the end, and think upon my death-bed of all the nights I wasted in my youth." (W.B. Yeats)

    I have read many reports of guitarist trying to find the maximum number of switching options in 3 pickup guitars Problem is, we’re geared for maximum variety with the greatest simplicity My preference: HSH - humbuckers wired conventionally to a 3-way toggle - single coil wired to a second 3-way toggle in an in-phase/off/out-of-phase setup. - 3 volume puts -1 times pot This allows all combinations of all pickups, and adding the out of phase single coil to one or both humbuckers produces an broad, unique range of tones. No coil splitting, coil tapping, no push/pull, no batteries, and if the single coil matches the pickguared color, it can look like any bog standard 2-humbucker guitar.

    I admire the simplicity of your approach Personally, I prefer the humbucker wired conventionally to a 3-way toggle, and the single wired in-phase/off/out-of-phase to a second 3-way toggle. 3 volume pots, 1 tone pot. Amazing what tonal variety you can conjure with such a simple setup.
