Hello,
I'm planning to install a JB and a 59 (4 conductor version) in my LTD EC-256.
The guitar has 3 pots:
- 1 bridge volume with push-pull
- 1 neck volume with push-pull
- 1 concentric pot for bridge tone and neck tone (no possibility of push-pull)
I'm hesitating between two wiring options:
Option 1: 1 push-pull to split the bridge PU, 1 push-pull to split the neck PU.
Option 2: 1 push-pull to split both pickups, 1 push-pull to reverse the phase on the neck pickup.
Option 1 would allow me to split the pickups independently, so in the middle position I could use one pickup in SC mode and one pickup in full HB mode.
Option 2 would give me the out-of-phase tone in the middle position, but wouldn't allow me to split the pickups independently.
So, specifically for the JB / 59 pickups, which is more important?
Do the JB / 59 sound great together when one is in SC mode and the other is in full HB mode, or is this tone useless?
Does the out-of-phase tone sound great with the JB / 59, or is that tone useless?
Thanks!
