I bought a set of SD Psyclones and wanted to know if it makes any if I rotate the bridge pickup 180 degrees during setup. Would it affect the tone at all, or are the pickups fairly symmetrical? The reason I ask is that I'm installing them in a hollow-body build (similar to a Gretsch White Falcon). The lead wire on the pickup is on the high E side of the pickup making it about 2 inches too short to reach the volume pot (without crossing over the F-hole). However, if I rotate the pickup so the lead wire is on the low E side, then the lead wire is just long enough to reach the volume pot.
So my options seem to be
1) Rotate the pickup, or
2) Add length to the lead wire (hot and ground)
I'd rather not add length to the lead wire if the simple fix is to just rotate the pickup. I just don't want to sacrifice tone.
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
