Members Tubefox Posted January 12, 2011 Members Share Posted January 12, 2011 Question in title. I have an RG370 I'm thinking about just taking the single coil out of, because: 1. I never use it.2. It interferes with picking. Is there any sort of issue that can be caused by just removing it and leaving the slot empty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prages Posted January 12, 2011 Members Share Posted January 12, 2011 Other than it just looking a bit weird, no there's no problem in doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tubefox Posted January 12, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 12, 2011 Other than it just looking a bit weird, no there's no problem in doing that. That's kind of what I figured, but, since many people on HCEG know more than me about this stuff, I figured I'd check. Just in case. I'd hate to find out "Oh, and by the way, this can cause the electricity from your amp to flow through your guitar, fatally electrocuting you and burning your house down around your charred body."

Members Cobalt Blue Posted January 12, 2011 Members Share Posted January 12, 2011 Leslie West, when he was with Mountain, removed the neck pup from his V. He said, then, that he used the empty slot as an ashtray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Superrust Posted January 12, 2011 Members Share Posted January 12, 2011 ^^^ Does that really say 'Solid Gold frets'?? That doesn't make sense considering how soft they would be. Back on topic.. Malcolm Young.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads up: If you were asked what model guitar Clapton's "The Fool" was, what answer would you give? [video=youtube;rfTw-ancTVE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bluffalo Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 i'd say the problem is your picking style.. just lower it right down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danswon Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 I don't know why people are telling you to lower it down or modify your playing style - if you don't want it there, just take it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
