cheers...i've put my "normal" prs wiring in yesterday...sounds great...much better....i'll give this out of phase a try next on my 594 prs next. thx.

Man, you are like the Bob Ross of pickups wiring! Awesome!

At last a clear and straightforward tutorial! Good work man

Thanks for the video tutorial, I made the mod without problem with my lack of experience in soldering. And it works flawlessly!!!

That was the most helpful video on the subject. I hvent built a guitar in a long time and forgot how to do phasers thank you so much

Brilliant Tutorial! Definitely doing this on my 1980 P90.

Thank you so much!

Really good vid man, even helped an old dog like me! Thanks.

I did a phase switch, series/parallel, and coil split on a VVT with 3 dpdt pots...NOT FUN. but the options were fun to dink with...not as much as I thought, but I woke up with a case of the F arounds.

Series to Parallel switching on the neck specifically... I'd just leave the neck in parallel and get a really hot alnico one like a SF full shred

I love having a Les Paul with p90 in neck and phase switch I have a bridge with 0.47uF and neck with 0.15 uF and put the phase switching on the neck- that is just my preference ….probably sound s terrible to other artists

As I understand it, the taped red and white wires can normally be wired either side of a mini toggle switch to give a coil split option. Would that work - and add an additional split option, with the phase switch in there and would it be possible to use push/pull pots on the volume pots (in addition to the one you use for the phase switching) instead of mini toggle switches to avoid drilling holes and trying to fit more stuff in the back cavity?

Great DYI. The lash-up works perfectly thanks a bunch. I hope it is no imposition but can you please let me know in a reply post the name and where you got the wire bending fork tool that is so cool for solid wire and works perfectly. I looked all over for it but no such luck Thanks Mate Very Informative no brain er on the the CTS Switch / Pot

👍

I wired one pickup on my guitar out of phase, but with no switch, so watching tutorials with the out of phase switch gets a little confusing for me. I think I got what i wanted to know from the video, but I'd just like to ask for certainty: If I have one pickup wired out of phase, the wiring/grounding changes to do the 50s wiring mod are still the same as if they were in phase, correct? So, the fact that I have reversed the pickup wires on one pot has no bearing on what lugs I need to switch the capacitor to, right?

I was considering doing this with a .015 cap on the neck & .022 bridge (Clapton's woman tone). Would that work well with the out of place wiring?

Can the phase reversal be done on the volume pot? My coil splits are done on the tone pots, and I would like to leave that in place.

Can this be done with two conductor humbucker; or must it be four conductor? Thanks.

Is it possible to convert a coil split push pull to a out of phase switch?

Hi, can you please PLEASE give me some info on wiring. I have scoured the internet and watched a lot of your videos and cant find the answer. I have followed these steps exactly as you have shown but when it comes to the push/pull pot I am using Seymour Duncan triple shot pickup rings. So I do not have North start and South start, I only have Black(ground), Bare(ground) and White(hot) coming from the pickup ring. How do i wire the black, bare and white wire to the push/pull to get phase switching? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also if you dont mind, I dont have any braided wire to hand. Can you wire the 3-way selector using standard basic wire? Ive spent 3 days researching this and wiring up the guitar and I'm having earthing issues.

Hi! Very usefull video, great job! Works great. I have it done in my Les paul by my luthier. Just one hint - when I choose out of phase by push/pull switch and then touch the neck pickup cover with finger it starts to buzz - like grounding problem, when I stop out of phase there is no buzz when touching the pickup. I inspect the wiring and it seems to be ok - like on the video. Is it normal? What are your experience? Thanks!

Someone recommended putting copper tape inside where the pick-ups insert, and even on the back side of the pick guard and inside the pot holes. It prevents the buzzing (well, the guy says it does). I'll try to find the video link to show you.

if I reversed the black and green would the default be out of phase instead of the standard setup?

im using a different push pull pot, and a little concerned if im connecting it to the pins upside down. I like how yours are numbered but im using a different brand pot.

Hi , i am putting this push/pull in volume position ,so the only difference in wiring i can see is no.2 lug will go onto the volume input lug on the switch. Am i right?

What's weird is I just saw a interview with Kirk from Metallica & not only did he say that "Greenie's" out of phase sound does not go thin sounding like all these people are saying, but he showed that "Greenie's" out of phase sound is actually very thick sounding. Then he went on to show & prove this is the truth. The interview he did recently with Rick Beato is where he proves it to you.

Flipping the magnet is a little different, usually people with 2 conductor pickup leads will go for the magnet flip, esp. with valuable/collectible pickups or not wanting to do the delicate soldering to make it a 4 conductor. But y're right, with the magnet flip you can roll one volume back until you get closer to the normal middle position sounds. Swapping wires like here is officially called 180° out of phase, or half out. It sounds ever so slightly different. Still great, Zappa's Strats were wired to switch positions 2 & 4 out of phase, obvi no magnet flips on a Strat. Work the tone controls too, with an .015 cap in the neck tone circuit you get a cocked wah sound rolled all the way off, more so our of phase.

I have 2 humbukers, but i want to Know if reverse phase and out of phase are the same... Please help

Hi ! Got a question : I have humbucker pickups that have that vintage style wire, center is hot and silver wrap around is ground. Can i do this mod with these ? Thx a lot for your videos.

hey, on the topic of humbuckers could you make a video showing how to wire coil split to a 3 way switch?

@@SixStringSupplies Awesome I really appreciate that. For reference i am trying ti mod a squier bullet mustang. It has a 3 way pickup selector and master tone and volume. I am just unsure of how to do it because ive never coil split using s switch however on this specific model it seems easier to do it with a switch because of cavity limitations

You say it doesn't matter which pickup you put out of phase but it still matters where you place it right ?

Do you know the colour codes for iron gear pickups?

Hi. Where can I buy the single core hook up wire? I can't find it on your site. I'm having a real issue trying to wire up the push pull with stranded wire. Thanks

Jimmy Page for the record never had any of these Push Pull mods until 1984. So not period correct for Led Zeppelin . He had some 'Phase Cancellation ' going on in the middle position due to the low Wind(7.5k) T Top Bridge Pickup combined with the High wind PAF (8.6k) in the neck . The Neck PUP is set BELOW pickup ring and then you get that "Hollow Chirp" sound in the middle. I demo his live 1973 tone on my channel for J Page tone chasers

Great tutorial! Is it possible to connect a vintage PAF (double conductor) to the push pull pot?

Peter Greens guitar had no special wiring it was just the neck pickup with the magnet flipped. Turning a pickup around makes no difference to the guitars tone.

Don't be a plonker all your life!! You must heard this from others.....but your voice is like Rodney's from Only fools and horses! Thanks for the video

Thanks for posting this approach to ELECTRONICALLY out of phase wiring, a useful tonal variation. However the Greenie sound is caused by a MAGNETICALLY out of phase pickup achieved by physically reversing (flipping or rotating) the magnet in one of the humbuckers. It’s a totally different sound, so a bit of disinformation to say this is a Paul Green sound mod. I don’t doubt that a lot of 50’s Les Pauls were wired out of phase like this.

It's identical whether you flip the magnets or swap the pickup leads. This has been proven by many people.

Can I just get rid of my Tone Knob and capacitor? I don't use it Plus I'm Tone Deaf.
