I have just registered in the forum but I have been reading stuff here for years. I was reading a post from 2002 (I know it's old) in which a guy named john abraham was asking about adding a resistor in line to a pickup to make it hotter output. Everyone said he was nuts in a summary. However, there is a mod called DGT used in PRS guitars which allow for something like a partial split of humbuckers. It is used to split PAF style pickups which tend to be to week when split. It works great. I have a guitar with it. I simply love it.
Now, the fact is that this mod is exactely what john abraham mentioned in 2002, a resistor in line with the pickup, in this case, a resistor in line with the pickup when it is split, so you can have this partial split. It allows for a split with more mids, less highs and consenquently the feeling of more volume than a normal split.I will leave a link for the DGT mod here.

So my question is, why not adding a resistor in line with a pickup that is too bright or lacking mids instead of buying a new one. Am I crazy as people said john abraham was in 2002?
Thank you all for the hours of reading and learning I got from here.
