SD Antiquitys out of phase

[Georgeatt]

I put a Antiquity I in the Tele neck position and a Antiquity II surfer (RW/RP) in the middle postion. I have a SD JD in the bridge position. Apparently, the ANTQ. I and the Surfer are out of phase with each other so my technician reversed the wiring for ANTQ I. The sound is great but whenever my fingertips brush or touch the chrome covered neck pickup I get a somewhat strong hum until I take my finger off. I have already shielded all cavities and the pickguard. Any ideas from anybody?
I might try re-installing the fender vintage noiseless in the neck position unless it too is out of phase.

I think I know why: the guy never reversed the wiring on the chrome neck cover. I'll give it try.

Yep, the ground from the cover always has to go to ground. Its just the other ground wire in the circuit that gets reversed.

Re: SD Antiquitys out of phase

You know, I went ahead and tried the old Fender Vintage noiseless in the neck position. The original pup actually sounded better and was far quiter. I kept the Surfer II in the middle postion because it sounded damn good. With that in mind, I am now thinking of going with swapping out the SD Jerry Donahue bridge for the original Fender Vintage noiseless.

I am not sure the Antiquity I Tele neck is all it is stated to be - even though it is only less than two months old, I may just take the loss and get rid of it via ebay.
