Hi Gang,
I tried searching, but couldn't find an exact answer on this so figured I'd ask.
It seems like on Jerry's guitars he had some where the neck pickup was always a single coil (Wolf and Tiger) and then others where the neck pickup was a humbucker where the coils could be split (Rosebud and Lightning).
Have we ever found out why? Did he initially think he wanted single coils for more rhythm on the neck pickup, but later wanted more diversity of sounds hence moving to a humbucker that could be split?
Curious if there are any more reasons than that - preferably documented by Garcia himself - but also up for speculation!
Thanks in advance!
