Hey there and thanks
For a baritone guitar I'm building now I'm interested in putting a Lipstick pup in the mid position (but its really in-between the mid an bridge) and I have a question.
The schematic for the pickups and switches I drew out has alot of option for series/parallel/cut coil, phase on order to get a large amount of combinations. (Humbucker from Hell neck with ser/par/cut wired to phase switch then to a 4-way tele switch for ser/par with the bridge an "middle" which each has its own individual spst on/off switch.
The SD lipstick middle pickup is reverse wound and I just want to make sure that I won't be getting into any inadvertent out-of-phase issues that aren't intentioned already in my circuit design.
I don't believe it will but, what to make sure I"m not missing anything regarding the electrical design of the reverse wound pickup. I figured it doesn't hurt to have some hum cancelling when paralleled with the bridge pickup (tele 2/5) but was more concerned when switching out of phase with the Humbucker from Hell in the neck position.
Just in case anyone is interested, I choose the pickups and circuit design because it offers a great deal of lower DCR combinations which I loosely suspect will keep a higher resonant frequency for the type of music that will be coming from the guitar. This guitar will be for playing mostly clean fingerstyle, an I don't mean country or Dire Straights type fingerstyle, I mean actual acoustic guitar type fingerstyle like Michael Hedges, Steven Wake, Pierre Bensusan. Its kind of an experiment I hope goes well - I'll probably have a capo on around the 3rd to 9th fret quite alot!
But thats the story and at this point, I need to stick to it. If one of the pickups isn't doing the job, I'll just try some more out until the tones fall into place well, thats all,
Thanks everyone, just wan't to snuff out any lingering concerns about using a RW mid pickup. If so, I'll just order the neck Lipstick pickup which seems to be the same thing as the middle pup, just not reverse wound.
Thank you!
Best,
Phil Donovan
