Someone messed with my Super 70's!

[BWK]

Hey guys. I got a pair of super 70's in an 1976 Aims LP that I picked up a while back. I am going to put them a 1982 Ibanez Blazer that I am restoring. Putting a set of Pearly Gates in the LP.

The Super 70's were modified at one time to be split. The original wire was replaced by a set of double wires. Not a problem to remove them and solder them in the Blazer the same way. The problem is that the bridge pickup sounds like it is always split. I have re-soldered it in hopes that it might fix the problem. No luck. I fear the problem is beyond my limited knowledge. Any help would be appreciated.

It's probably out of phase with itself. Try reversing the wires from one coil.

Just swap the two wires. So if you had one as ground, connect it to hot, etc.

That will reverse absolute polarity. Not polarity relative to one pickup. The OP should try reversing only two of the wires. (To one coil.) Not the whole shebang.

That's what I said.

Ok. So if someone replaced the 2 wire lead with 4 wires (they did), I only need to select one set of 2 wires to reverse. as long as those 2 wires go to the same coil. Right?

right

Keep in mind it might place the pickup out of phase with the other pickup, depending on which coil you reverse. Since right now one is already out
