Out of Phase Guitar Pickups

PictureOut of Phase Guitar Pickups
I was asked recently, "If I turn my pickup around 180' degrees (treble side moved to bass side), so it's out-of-phase, will it affect my tone at all when used by itself?"....

To answer, the position itself won't change if it's in-phase or not - the wiring does. Think reverse polarity or reversing the ground and hot wires. If we reverse the current flow on one pickup only, and two are selected, one will be out-of-phase from the other. The results of this are usually major bands of frequency cancelling each other out- creating a thin and nasally tone. But when just one pickup is selected, it sounds normal and full range.

How To Solder Guitar Electronics 101

How do you get the solder to stick to that tremolo claw? If you read our last post, it explains the process of 'tinning' the wire. Once you do that, you'll need to repeat the process on the tremolo claw itself. Grab some sandpaper and scratch off the plating on the tremolo claw, it will help the solder stick. If your solder iron is light-duty, somewhere around 25watts, you'll probably have some problems heating the claw enough for the solder to adhere. Remove the springs, they will act like a heat-sink otherwise. You may also need to remove the adjustment screws for the same reason. With those two things out of the equation, you should have a more effective process in melting some solder onto the claw.

Does your soldering look like this? Big globs o solder? The trick is to 'tin' the wire and the component first. Using your solder iron, heat the wire then melt the solder onto the wire. Same goes if you are soldering on to a jack, pot or switch. Learn tips like this and more at our Annual Wiring and Electronics Class - Feb.1, 2015 Edmonton & May 24 Calgary.
