Hello,
I am still contemplating a coil split for my 1982 S250. But as I have been researching I have mulled over changing out the XL7S for some Duncan Blues, PAF, 59s....etc. Especially after reading GAD's great review of his 275 with XL's. Of course I will do this without permanent modification....no switch drilling, etc. so that it may be returned to stock if desired.
What pickups do you use? Any coil tap/split of XL7 pups out there?
Thank you.

I had to reinstall XR-7s in my S-275 after someone had put Burstbuckers in their place. When I wired then up, I didn’t split them, but I did wire the bridge pup with a series/parallel/phase switch.

Thank you, Chris. I find the XL7S to be a bit muddy at times, though it may be me. I'm opting for a cleaner sound at higher settings.
I see you have a Detonator...I has a blue one for years. It was awesome, I miss it!
