I have seen dummy coils before, like the MM Sterling has one under its MM pickup, but I dont really know what it is for, or what it can do to the tone. Can anyone explain this?

There's a nice post here (http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=293) in the Must Reads section on the subject of pickups. I think you might find it helpful.
