Split he neck w pre

[Jedi Clampett]

Am building a guitar with a Tele bridge and pup. The neck pup will be a Duncan 59 with a coil split due to expected low output thinking about an outboard preamp or compressor, any thoughts about matching volume so no volume drop when using coil split?

A less complicated solution might be to use a switch that brings in a resistor when in dual-coil mode. This way, the combined output will be reduced to match the single-coil level, and the difference is made up for at the amplifier.
