I'll bring the question up also. Has anyone used this as well as any thoughts pro and con? I used the Google search function for searches and this is the only thread that came up.

Judging by the pictures it's in mint condition. I don't think anyone has used it.

Maybe they did a really good job unsoldering this one.

This is weird! The other day, I was thinking about a volume pot (of some sort, used with a humbucker) that when on "10" would be a regular humbucker (both coils) but when turned down it gradually "faded" one coil out. This would make lower volumes "cleaner". A pickup solution to the Treble/Cap network thingy...if any of that made sense.

Finally a serious reply. It seems like a good idea but I haven't found a post anywhere that says someone installed it and it worked great. It's also interesting that the OP got zero replies and then the first three guys were in a joking mood. I guess it's casual Friday.

Wow, that site has some interesting things. I like the hum-to-single idea, and also found this variable treble bypass:
