Some people like that out of phase sound. Gives you a single coil vibe.
I thought a magnet flip only fixes the polarity. It fixes out of phase too?
In my case it will be the Dragon neck or bass pickup and Tremonti Bridge or treble pickup. Are they out of phase?
If I end up installing a Tremonti neck Pickup, will they be out of phase with the toggle?
All PRS pickups come out of phase? I know the Tremonti can be used with a five way rotary.
Confusing!
So in my Singlecut I have a Suhr Aldrich bridge and PRS #7 neck. I am either going to flip the magnet or install a Suhr Aldrich neck.
Not sure how to flip a magnet, but I'll look it up.
Yes, my CE22 has Dragons and I am replacing the 5-way rotary with a toggle switch. I disnt realize the Dragons are out of phase and will sound thin when had together? I have the same issue on my Singlecut with the Aldrich bridge and #7 neck. Luckily I mostly either use bridge pickup or neck pickup. Rarely do I use them together. Clean I tend to use bridge or neck and same with gain.
On my Singlecut with Aldrich bridge and #7 neck, is it a polarity issue or out of phase issue? In the middle the volume drops and the tone becomes thin on clean tones. With gain, I don't notice a volume drop but the tone thins out some and almost sounds like single coils. It's kind of cool though. I'll probably still flip the magnet or get the marching Suhr Aldrich neck pickup.
Now with the Tremonti and Tremonti neck, also with the SC250 pickups I find the middle position great. Incredible how fat, yet clear it is in the middle. I rarely have experienced that.
I see what you mean about the Dragons being out of phase. I guess that's how tthey for them to work with the five way rotary. But will the Tremonti treble also be out of phase with the Dragon neck.
I don't know if the Tremonti pickups changed over the years because I believe they work or used to work with a five way rotary and yet Tremonti signature guitars come with a three way toggle switch.
My CE22, besides the toggle switch, I have installed a Tremonti Treble which I love. Again I will most likely use the bridge or neck, but I may end up getting a Tremonti neck Pickup. In that case, I won't have to worry about out of phase or a thin middle tone.
According to this article, I can just flip the white and black wires so that the black is hot on one pickup. Don't believe you need to do it for both pickups.
Maybe this will work in the CE22 with Tremonti Bridge and Dragon neck.
I don't think all PRS guitars are out of phase since my SC250 with stock pickups use a toggle and no cool splitting and mnay PRS guitars come with a toggle and cool taps. So, it varies.
I never understood how you can so easily switch wires and have it work.
Can I do that with the Suhr Aldrich or PRS #7 in my Singlecut or does that require a magnet flip? Maybe I'll try changing my #7 pickup to have the black wire as hot and see if it gets rid of the thin tone I have in the middle with the PRS #7/Suhr Aldrich set.
Maybe the wire switch white hot to black hot only works with PRS pickups.
