Emmons PP Pickup Questions

Post by Brian Edwards »

I just acquired a '74 pp. I am wondering if anyone can tell me whether these pickups are single coil or humbuckers? Also, what does the tone switch do? I am gathering so far that on one setting (right), the tone control works, on the other setting (left), the tone control is off and the pickup is fully open. Right?<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Brian Edwards on 25 November 2003 at 07:00 PM.]</p></FONT><FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Brian Edwards on 25 November 2003 at 07:01 PM.]</p></FONT>

If the guitar is original, the pick-ups are probably single coils. If you push on the volume pedal and they hum a little they are single coils. You have the tone thing figured out.
