I know that you can't coil tap a pickup that only has two wires that's why my luthier advised on adding a four conductor cable. At that time though I didn't go with it because as I said before I was paranoid about my pickups and the whole tweaking thing. I was afraid that tweaking the the pickups can alter the tone quite a bit because my pickup is not very high output. It's actually low.

If a four conductor cable won't alter the sound of my pickups in any way, which one should I do- add an out of phase switch or add a four conductor cable? which one would produce the best single coil sound?

And To Everyone

You guys have been extremely helpful and patient with me. Thank you!!!

I can’t sing so I sing through my guitar. So when the sound guy says: “Your guitar is too loud!” I think: "Why does he never say that to the vocalist?"
