btw, coil tap and coil split are 2 different things. i said coil tap above, because it was in my mind after reading you say "tap"...i only say this because if you google coil tap, you may come across info that is not the same as a "split"....people incorrectly interchange these terms by mistake all over the web

those extra wires are for "splitting" the two magnets, not "tapping" them. If the extra wires were not there, you would then have to "tap" into that pickup in order to split it....thats how i understand the difference
