My Gibson SG has the PCB electronics, vol/vol/tone/tone/3-way, and 57 Classics. When both volumes are equal (both on 10, both on 8, etc), the sound thins out considerably. I just got it back from the shop for some fret work and the luthier thinks they're wired out of phase but was a little stumped. It's odd, because if I put both volumes on 10 to get the thin sound, then turn one down to 9, the fullness comes back and is there no matter where the pot is on the sweep, unless they're both equal (or on 10 in this example). So I'm a bit confused - is this normal? Is it useful? If no, is there a way to address it without doing a complete rewire (which the luthier said may or may not fix the problem)? Does that sound like out of phase to you all?
The PCB makes it tricky. There's a connector for each pickup... should I try to turn one of these connectors around? Would flipping a pickup 180 degrees do the trick? Flipping a magnet?
