Out of Phase?
Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2012 10:10 am
Hi all:
I built a tele-deluxe style guitar a couple of years ago with just a single PU in the neck position. I recently decided to put a GFS P-90 in the bridge position. The installation went pretty well (got pics at home, but not with me at the moment), and the P-90 sounds pretty nice. The other pick-up is a GFS lipstick tube and I'm using a 3-way Les Paul type switch. I'm fairly pleased with the outcome (it works, no hum or noise!). Electronics are not my stength.
However, with the switch in the middle position, the output is very weak and thin. Did I wind up with the pick-ups out of phase? If so, how do I correct this? Is it a matter of switching leads on one of the pickups or is it more complicated than that?
I appreciate any advice. Thanks.
Matt
