humbucker sized single coils?

What's Hot

hey guys, so ive been wanting to get a hss pup config guitar recently but it just struck me, i know there are single coils that are same size as humbuckers, but are their any of those that have the pole pieces offset rather than straight down the middle?

alternatively, is it possible to buy brackets or something of that ilk that will allow for a single coil to be mounted in a humbuckers place, but be positioned close to the neck as opposed to having a gap either side of its mounted position?

    Yes, Fralin P92. It's actually a *hum-cancelling* single coil with offset poles, so it's the best of both worlds - done by using two half coils.

    The Dimarzio Bluesbucker is an offset single coil which looks like a stock humbucker.
