Papobass, welcome to the forum! The phantom coil is a 3rd coil on your humbucking pickup. The coil itself doesn't make any sound. It eliminates the 60 cycle hum when you've got the pickup selector in the middle position (single coil closest to bridge). It basically creates a pseudo humbucker to eliminate the hum, although you only hear the one coil.
