guitar2005 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I setup a guitar with a Humbucker/Single/Humbucker setup and selected the middle pickup as Reverse wound. It seems as tough when I mix the middle single with the bridge pickup, the volume drops. If I select only the middle pickup, the volume comes back up. I think that the fact that I used a reverse wind on the middle pickup may be the cause of my problems. Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pan_kara Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Looks like its out of phase - maybe try connecting it the other way around. Middle pickup out of phase does reduce the overall volume quite a bit in the neck+middle and bridge+middle configurations. One funny thing (and you can see if this happens in your case) is that in neck+middle notes played around the 17th-19th fret have the fundamental frequency mostly canceled out so they sound like played an octave higher than in reality. A pretty cool effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar2005 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Well, I tried the reverse wiring and that solved the phase issue, but its not hum cancelling. I think that I might have to buy a new, non rwrp pickup for the middle position to work properly with the split bridge pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
