Members NickRober Posted March 10, 2009 Members Share Posted March 10, 2009 I just installed the GFS Power Rails humbuckers in my guitar and the neckpickup is drastically louder than the bridge pickup. There is also astrange sound when using the 3 way switch. I put together a recording:http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/302745/Pickups.mp3 In that recording i never changed volume between switching from neck to bridge. I used the wiring guide from Seymour Duncan for 1 volume and 1 tonepotentiometer since the wiring guide that came with the pickups wasfor 2 volume and 2 tone pots. It can be found here:http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=2h_1v_1t_3w Is my bridge pickup out of phase? If so, what should I do to fix it?

Members moestavern Posted March 10, 2009 Members Share Posted March 10, 2009 providing you have followed the diagram correctly then there shouldnt be a problem. i doubt the gfs pickups have the same colour coded wires as duncan pups, so make sure the colour codes are correct and you know what each wire is doing. if the pickup sounds out of phase then just swap the wire that you earthed for the hot wire. if its a coil tappable pickup you may have wired one of the coil tap wires as hot and hence only a single coil sound.also check your pickup height. your problem will be 1 of the above im sure......j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NickRober Posted March 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 I appreciate it moestavern. I'll try switching the green and black wires and see how it works. UPDATE: I tried switching the green and black wires. Same thing happens. I think there might be a problem with the bridge pickup because when touching it with a screwdriver it has noticeably weaker magnetic pull than the neck pickup. Isn't it supposed to be stronger magnetic pull if it's supposed to be louder pickup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
