Humbucker vs Single Coil vs Noiseless Single Coil: What is the Difference?

[@larrysimonis2352]

How do coil tapped humbuckers compare with/to noiseless single coil pick up?

Im curious about coil tapping as well. My favorite sound is 2 humbuckers blended with the neck coil being split. Sounds so unique. Single coilly, but with some jangle. I run through a Vox and get all the chimey goodness. Never had coil tapped though.

Hey, interesting question. I haven't found that coil tap humbuckers sound similar to a noiseless single coil pick up. To my ear, they sound more like a thinner version of the same pick up. Definitely not a true single coil sound. I have found they sound good when combined with another pick up. For example, coil tap the bridge and combined with neck.

Hey! I'm sure that sounds sweet. Read my comment above about coil tap. Just my opinion.
