Just installed my 89 & S (Old school hardwire solder versions), I like it for the most part, love the S in the neck.
In looking at the wire diagram (http://www.sonic.net/~emgman/pdf/89SAiVtoggle.pdf), and after playing it, with the switch down, it's definitely hum bucking, with it up, it's definitely single coil voiced, but when the switch is right dadgumm in the middle, it's pure sweetness, brighter, more output.
I presume because it's using both pre-amps (the humbucker preamp and the single coil preamp) simultaneously, so I'm thinking, why not just wire it up that way. Forget the split, wire it up like the Humbucker only schematic suggests (http://www.sonic.net/~emgman/pdf/89%20as%20humbucker%20only%201v%201t.pdf), only instead of sending only the green to hot as it suggests, send the white also.
Anyone else experimented with this?
Thoughts?
