I'm planning on wiring my Ibanez AS73FM (HH pickup configuration) with a pair of Triple Shots but have a few questions. I won't be doing the wiring myself but I want to make sure I know what I'm talking about when I discuss it with the tech.
According to the Triple Shot installation instructions, they can be wired either standard or reverse which changes the direction of the coil splitting. Can I wire the neck in standard and the bridge in reverse? This way the switches will "point" in the direction of the coil being active (i.e. both switches to the left on the Neck pick up turn on the adjustable coil whereas on the Bridge both to the left would be the slug) thus matching the orientation of the pickups.
Is there any reason this can't be done? Is there any reason I wouldn't want to do this/unintended consequences?
Also, I'd like the ability to reverse the phase (coming from the TS) by going to a push-pull on the bridge volume (the most accessible pot, in hopes of saving a little time/money as semi-hollows can be a pain to wire). Can I get away with only wiring one with phase reversal (ex. bridge pickup)? I'm figuring the phase only really matters when both pickups are active (middle position) so only one should have to be out of phase to get that sound, right?
Anything I'm missing?
Thanks you!
