My Pickups Are Wired Extremely Different From The SD Schem, But Work Fine...

Ok in my Schecter (HxH, 2v, 1t, 3-way w/push/pull on tone pot for splitting), the wiring is very different from this schematic:

First off, the split is for both pickups.

My white and ground wires are both grounded to the push/pull pot, the green and black wires are soldered to the terminal indicated on the schem (one has the bridge's B and G wires, the neck's wires go to the termincal directly opposite of it). The red wire is soldered to the volume pot, like it's the lead.

It's always confused me. Is it bad? Does it matter if it's how SD has it or how Schecter wired it?

I could be wrong, but it sounds like they wired both pickups reverse phase. As long as both pickups are wired like that, it's not a big deal, as both pickups will be in phase.

So no sound difference?

No sound difference at all. That's how a phase switch works, you wire one pickup reverse phase, and then when the switch is pulled and both pickups are selected, you get an out of phase tone.

I second that. I'm pretty sure thats what they did... But i dont understand why they'd wire them like that.... hmmm... :smack:
