What is the MXY configuration? - single or stacked single ciol? - dual or humcanx, ect, - wired in series or parallel - etc. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 1198 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, October 31, 2003 - 11:11 am:    Except for Series I/II pickups we make stacked humcancelling pickups. There is a coil near the strings with a magnetic core and a humcancelling non-magnetic core coil directly below. Unlike other's pickups, we don't use them as tone controls - they just report the strings' activity to the electronics where the tone control happens.
