    Alright so I understand the literal sense of series / parallel wiring,
    But how does thing effect tone, sounds, and all that jazz?

    Hi Maurice,

    No need to start swearing. :)

    Pickups wired in series make the tone "fatter" or "hotter". Wired in parallel means you can blend the 2 pickups. You can have a switch to switch between the 2 modes.
