A simple question: are the pickups in a Collector's Choice #6 circa 2012 wax potted? I believe they are Custombuckers.
Wired in parallel ???!!! Now that's thrown the cat amongst the pigeons! I must check the resistance of this pickup. If this is true and my Ohm's Law is correct then the resistance value should read approx half the value of a "normal" PAF style humbucker, around say 3.6K ohms.I don't know for sure, but I think most Custombuckers in CCs are "lightly potted." It'll be interesting to see if any owners have actually gotten "into" the pickups to figure this out. On the #6 model, the speced pickups are a bit unusual...apparently the bridge pickup coils are wired in parallel.
If Gibsons did what they said they did in the manufacture of late 50's copies then your pickups should not be potted.
