Parallel wiring for pups. . .
A lot of people use parallel wiring for pups as an alternative to coil-shunts due to their humbucking qualities. . .
I like my alternate wirings, so I was messing around with a few of my guitars and, maybe it's just me, but parallel wiring seems to lack the quack of single-coils.
Has anyone else noticed this? Does anybody here have any specific preferences regarding these sort of wirings?
Cheers

He's referring to the two coils within a humbucker being wired in parallel, rather than in series, which is the standard.
