which would you go for ?

I have a push pull sitting around doing nothing, so I might as well use it. So I can have out of phase, parrellell/series or coil tap in bridge or neck. What dya reckon ?

Wire your neck pup out of phase anyway and use the push/pull for serial/parallel. I find that more useful than coil tapping but you may not agree.

Re: which would you go for ?

parallel
it's up to you, but the question was what would [ I ] go for, and I would go for it for many reasons:
- No 60-cycle hum. (Like standard single coils)
- Richer tone.
- When distorted, less mud comes out of your amp/speaker.
- More unique, not that common.
- It can give you a single-coil - like vibe but doesn't get very thin as a coil tap can get. (depending on the humbucker)

So, would this be switching the two humbuckers to serail or parelell, or each humbucker to serial/parallel ? Also anyone got a wiring diagram for this..
