Out of Phase Wiring
Wanting to change to middle position on the Korinacaster to out of phase. Going for herd wisdom before I start.
So what wires do I need to swap?
And my old 5SE's camera really isn't up to it anymore...
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Out of Phase Wiring
With a single coil all you would need to do is swap the leads coming from the pickup, so choose a pickup, maybe neck? unsolder its black ground wire and put it to the switch where the other neck wire is (white??) and put that white to ground instead.

Re: Out of Phase Wiring
That's what I thought; just checking though.

Re: Out of Phase Wiring
Curious to know why you would want the out of phase thing, doesn't it make them sound really thin?

Re: Out of Phase Wiring
Why yes, it does. But it also pops clearly out of a mix in a way rounder tones don't. I like the nasal quality and it works well with the fingerpicking which is 80% of my playing. Amps and pedals can maintain the 'honk' and still make it as big as you like.
Absolutely the best tone for swampy blues too.
Of the 6 pickup tones on the Baja, the standard both pups on is the only one I really don't use. Just doesn't have the character of the out of phase option.
And if I wanted huge fat tones, I'd probably be better friends with Les Pauls.

That's the one with the treble rolloff? If so, not for me.

Baja Tele. Job done.
Never use both pups on the Korinacaster. Each of the Lollars has a distinct and wonderful voice. Combined though, they seem less.

Re: Out of Phase Wiring
50's retains treble as you roll off volume. To my untrained eye, having the tone cap between V and T like you have, makes it 50's style(??).

Right. In that case yes, I like.

Re: Out of Phase Wiring
Like JB said BUT.....
The neck pickup cover will then be attached directly to hot. If you touch it, it will buzz like a MF.
You should detach the pickup cover from the ground wire and solder on its own independent one, which should then be sent to ground.

Re: Out of Phase Wiring
Nope. The bridge pickup is worse.
The ground wire is attached to the copper base plate, which is attached to the mounting screws, which are attached to bridge, which is attached to your strings.
