I've posted a thread in the electric guitars and amp forum alread about a pair of PRS pickups I bought that supposedly were out of a private stock guitar. The neck pickup is labelled 1985 Bass but there's no label on the bridge p/u. For whatever reason these pickups are wired with opposite polarity to what PRS pickups normally are. I have Dragon II's in my PRS and they follow the normal PRS wiring convention.
I want the slug coils to be my single coils but had to reverse the leads on the neck pu for this to work. When I did this the pu's were out of phase. Wiring the neck based on the original polarity activates the screw coil and removes the out of phase problem but single coil sound is really weak and brittle. I've been battling with this problem for over a week now and getting no where.
Really need some help with this.
Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. I can provide the wiring polarity schematic I came up with and a wiring schematic I drew up for the pickups. I used an analog voltmeter to determine the pickup wiring polarity which is how I found out they weren't wired in the conventional PRS way.
If you have any questions at all please ask.
Thanks all.
Thanks.
