>the bluesbucker is basically an underwound 43AWG humbucker with 1 set of poles removed (the dummy poles are not magnetic and are cosmetic in function). so it's hum-cancelling but only has 1 set of poles; this is presumedly meant to make it sound more like a single-coil in the attack
Hey, really interesting! If I understand it well, it actually makes it a kind of noiseless singlecoil in a HB housing. I'm now wondering how it compares to the higher output VV pups (DP402, DP409 and DP420 and to be more precise to the discontinued DP409 bridge version that I have in my strat).
