Pickup Compatibility

Post by byrdwatcher »

Mark--

Sorry to use public space for an off-topic query, but if/when you have some time, I'd like to ask you a few brief questions about installing a scatterwound Rick pickup in a guitar made by another manufacturer.

Thanks,
Spencer Brown

I have on two occassions installed toasters in Fender Telecasters....both of them went into the neck position .
You need to deal with the electrical phasing some times ...depending on era and what pickup is in the Bridge .
CBS Fenders were notorious for being 'out of phase' with other brands of pickups.
This is NOT the so call "STRAT Out Of Phase" tone.
So you too want yours "ALAPWOB"?!?!
