Hey all!
So I just impulse-bought one of those Squier Classic Vibe 60s Mustangs as a bit of a project. I know I won't like the S-S pickup orientation so was planning to swap out the bridge pickup with an SD Little '59.
The guitar has the classic 2-switch phasing method, where there is a switch for each pickup, the 3 positions on each switch: forward phase, off, backward phase.
My question is: How would replacing the bridge single coil with a humbucker affect the phasing switches if I switched them 'out of phase' ('bridge forward, neck reverse' or 'bridge reverse, neck forward'), would I still get an 'out of phase' kind of sound, or would it not matter because a humbucker is a humbucker no matter which way you turn it?
I appreciate this is a super niche question that barely anyone would even have the answer to, but I figured there are a lot of wise heads on here who are great at building guitars exactly how they want them, and not how the manufacturers make them!
