Quite a number of years ago I started to mess with the pickups on my SG.
I think it was only with the neck pickup but I'm not a hundred percent positive.
I ended up buying a couple of pickups to try out, but ultimately didn't like their sound
and switched back to the original 'exposed' humbuckers.
I have an extremely good aural memory for sound.
Before I started changing the pickups I was getting a beautiful, lush, full round tone
on all strings, and noticeably on the B and high E strings, which usually sound thinner
on most guitars.
This appealed to me for when I played jazz on the guitar.
After I finished messing around with the other pickups and re-installed the originals,
I immediately noticed that the G, B and E strings were no longer warm and full like they
used to be. They now had an 'out of phase Fender type sound'.
All the strings probably have this new sound, but it's most noticeable on the high strings.
I went back and tried to find the 'original wiring' diagrams for an SG and checked, and
double-checked my wiring. Everything looked right.
So here I am. I need your help!
Can any pickup expert tell me exactly what to look for when I open up my pickup cavity box?
What are the signs that I got the wiring wrong?
How can I fix this?
Thanks very much!
