I have a Kramer Baretta with the QuadRail pickups that include that feature.
I leave it in the "tap" mode most of the time because I like a lot of treble
and it seems to deliver more treble when tapped. Here's the specs: Push/Pull
"Quad to Dual-Rail" Dual-Tap Mode
- IN: 4 coils x 2 pickups = All
8 coils engaged
- OUT: 2 coils x 2 pickups = 4
coils engaged
(Closest to the neck on both
pickups is engaged)
By the way, I was in California on business and caught Los Straitjackets at
the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana. It was the first time I have seen them. Deke
Dickerson was in the show and I was in guitar heaven. I have not seen any
discussion about the guitars that Los Straitjackets had on stage. They were not
the
double cutaway variety, but I couldn't make out what the make was. I liked
them and was blown away by the show as were the business associates I dragged
along who were not really familiar with Los Straitjackets.
Back to coil tapping, it does allow for a wide range of style. The Baretta
has a Floyd Rose so it's sort of suited for hard rock, but can deliver a surf
sound, especially in the tap mode.
