SD Everything Axe help

[frank luke]

Hi
Bought this at MF. Put it in my 2008 USA Deluxe Strat. The 2 outside pups sound great. The duckbucker in the middle, not so much. Very, very low volume. I hate to replace it (my pickguard is actually serial # 1 of 100)
Pretty cool, signed by Seymour and his Wife, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Frank

Re: SD Everything Axe help

The middle Duckbucker is wired in parallel. That's how they were designed, to sound like vintage single coils. (which are pretty quiet)

You can rewire it in series and it will be louder and sound more like a cool rails. It's a totally valid mod, and I believe with that Liberator installed it's something you can do solderlessly. If you need help figuring that out give Customer Service a call tomorrow morning and they'll walk you through it.
