I expecting a set of P-Rails to arrive tomorrow, so I'd like to be sure how to install and wire them....
From what I understand, in a set of humbuckers, the neck and Bridge pickups as a whole are wired in reverse polarity relative to each other, while the coils in each pickup are also wired in reverse polarity to each other. The result is that if the coils are split and both pickups are on, the two coils in each pickup that are closest to the neck will be out of phase with each other, and the two coils closest to the bridge will be out of phase with each other.
The wiring diagrams on the Seymour Duncan web site show P-Rails pickup being mounted in opposite directions. Are the P-Rails Neck and Bridge pickup wired in the same polarity so that they have to be mounted in reverse in order for the corresponding coils to be out of phase with each other?
I'd like to get the sound of a Strat with the neck and middle pickups out of phase, so I'd like to mount the P-Rails with both rail pickups towards the neck. Will I have to reverse the wiring connections in one of the P-Rails to keep the rails out of phase?
Thanks!
