Finding this a little difficult considering it's a single conductor humbucker. Line6man suggests swapping the leads at the coil so I might try that. Any one have any advice on the operation? I'm guessing I just open up the back plate of the humbucker (unscrew it and unsolder it), find the leads...

Yes, I believe that's the intent, and it is in phase with the bridge pickup which is another Fralin. However, the neck pickup is a Seymour Duncan humbucker, so I guess it just happens to be out of phase with the Fralins. Reversing the two Fralins should put the whole thing in phase right?

The middle pickup is a Fralin Vintage Hot reverse wound. So I guess I would have to reverse the leads for the middle pickup and the bridge pickup if I wanted the whole thing to be in phase? Is there any danger of extra hum from reversing those leads?

How does one reverse the leads if it is a single conductor pickup ?

hey everyone, I did the wiring myself for a Warmoth build but I think I messed something up. The combo between the neck and middle pickups is very weak sounding, almost like you're hearing it over the telephone.  Both the neck and middle on their own sound great, it's just the combination. Its...

Thank for the suggestion and the pics Cagey, I will try this out as soon as possible and let you all know. Bagman67: Its been drying for a few months now and still unplayable. Cheers guys! :occasion14:

Hey everyone, Some sad news- the warmoth strat I assembled a few years ago was left by an open window over night and was found with condensation coating the neck in the morning. Its a goncalo alves/pau ferro unfinished neck on a swamp ash body and it's now unplayable. I've tried adjusting the...

Thanks for the info StubHead, - The barn door search has turned up a lot of great results. I actually found the post by the guy who finished the bass that I'm trying to emulate. My steps now look like: Wet wood to raise grain, dry, sand Shellac Grain Fill Sand Poly Satin Finish with perhaps...

After some more research here are my steps. 1)Sand 2) Clear Zinsser Shellac 3) Timbermate Walnut Grain Fill 4) Sand 5) More Shellac 6)A light colour stain if I'm not liking the colour (What type of stain would be good??, Oil based apparently turns yellow over time, so would water based be...

I'm soon to be receiving a Swamp Ash body Strat with a Walnut top and I want to get my finishes ready so I can start right away once it gets here. On the Walnut I'm planning on using Dark Walnut Danish Oil and Beeswax (tested this on scrap, and I really like the look) The Ash is posing the...
