American Special HSS w SD Alnico II Pro Wiring; Coil Split, Out of Phase, etc.

[chrisliua]

Howdy,

First time post, but frequent visitor to the message boards. Have learned a lot from y'all.

I did quite a bit of searching but never quite found what I was looking for... Basically, I have an Alnico II pro bucker in the bridge of my HSS, and it sounds great with the Fender Texas Specials. So right now in the bridge (full humbucker) and middle position on the 5-way, the two pickups are out of phase. I actually really like this tone and think it adds an interested sound to the guitar's arsenal...

So...

Is it possible to wire in a push/pull pot so the pickups would be arranged as follows on the 5-way

Position 1: bridge full
Position 1 Push/Pull Engaged:bridge split
Position 2: Bridge full and middle out of phase
Position 2 Push/Pull Engages: Bridge Split and Middle in phase

???

Hi, Did you ever figure it out, I am trying to get rid of the out of phase sound, I have the HSS American special with grease bucket. Not having luck.

Yes, switch the wires of the bridge and middle pup... Fender and SD are wired in revers on relation to the wire colors.
