Yes, you read above correctly -- 4.1k. Have you ever wondered what a super low wind neck humbucker would sound like? Have you ever assumed that any humbucker wound this low would be useless? If you think that and/or think it sounds like a split humbucker, you're as off the mark as a DCS (see footer) and you can't get much more wrong than that.
Yes, it's about the same spec as a typical split PAF clone but two +/-2k coils seeing a bigger section of string is not the same as one 4k coil seeing half that section. But the wider "mouth" of two coils sees the lower freq's better than one so there's still some flute warmth to it -- even more so if you decide to get it with an A5 mag -- but (obviously) minus the hum.
The best way to describe it is that it's like a neck humbucker wired in parallel but with a bit more output and with the crispiness and presence of a minihumbucker. The T6 would, as its addition to the Telebucker line implies, will work very nicely with a Tele bridge single coil, especially the more hardcore vintage types, but would be wonderful in an archtop, semi-hollow or even an LP or other beefy solidbody.
SPECS:
* 4.1k
* A3 (A5 for more flute)
* 42 PE wire

**The Splat is a means of getting a beefier option to the typical wimpy/slicey split humbucker tone. One coil is tapped part way so when you throw the switch you get all of one coil plus part of the other coil for a bigger, more authentic "single coil" tone. For example, if you had an 8k pickup, instead of the 4k split that sounds like a mosquito on a good day, you could have 5.5k, 6.0k, 6.5k or anywhere in between. Though I will likely make some recommendations for what's best for what you want, the exact spec is up to you...
