S-S-S-S

Fancy having 4 single coils on a guitar. Well, here is a few choices avaiable. 
  • This is a guitar with an S-S-S-S configuration and a 4-way switch customised by Beez. It's available for sale (not sure if it is sold out or not by now). 


  • You can also ask Beez to customise it on your guitar. Well, for more info, click here.
  • A fan of Visual Kei may know about Aoi's guitars. (pic below)
    As you can see, the pickups configuration is made up of 4 single coils. It may not be accurate to say it is all 4 single coils. Aoi prefers to have either a single-coiled sized humbucker or a stacked pickup and a pure single coil on both the bridge and neck position. There are 2 switches on the guitars, one allows us to swap between a single-coil or the humbucker, the other 3-way switch functions the same way it would on a typical Les Paul..

    2 Singles = Humbucker?

    Humbucker, as all know, is made up of 2 coils isn't?
    Well then, do you think it is possible to make your OWN humbucker out of single coils?
    Well,





    Aoi of The GazettE proves it yes.





    This is his guitar.

    and here's the closer look of his pickups. 


    These are single coil pickups but they are made to serve as humbuckers. The two pickups on the neck are Seymour Duncan lil 59' and Lace Sensor Hot gold. As for the bridge, it consists of LS hot gold and SD SLSD (lil screamin' demon). They ARE hum cancelling. Both SL59 AND SLSD are hum-cancelling and so are the LS hot golds. As for why, you've gotta be a bit hardworking and visit their site and look for the answers. =)

    Guitar is a very customisable instrument. It can be altered and modified in many ways.
