Good to hear! 🙂 I have to say, this is far and away the most beautiful guitar I've ever owned (IMO, obviously), and it plays incredibly well. It's moved into my "won't ever sell" category faster than any guitar I've owned. If you buy one, I can't imagine you'll regret it one bit! 😉

Are you talking about the string saddles? That's interesting. I hadn't noticed any discomfort. Different for everyone, though, I'm sure!

Ha! I'm actually from TX and didn't move to Waukesha until 2021. 😉 We're actually in Franklin now (South Milwaukee suburb); I guess I need to change my info on here. 🙂 Yes, I'm really digging the P90s as well.

I used to be nothing but a Fender guy for decades, but an Epiphone Les Paul Special in TV yellow started to change my mind. It's an amazing guitar. This one is even better. It's as nice as any guitar I've played. The finish is gorgeous and flawless, the fretwork is immaculate, beautiful binding...

Nice one! I like how you start on the ii chord and move up from there to the V6 chord. Great guitar tones. There are a few flat spots in the vocals that I think could be polished up; I'd also like to hear the very opening of the song a little tighter with everyone starting together; it's a bit...

Thanks for all the replies and ideas, y'all. I've been super busy and haven't had a chance to look at it again, yet, but I will and will report my findings.

Interesting! I spend most of time in positions 1 and 5. 3 is my next favorite. I hardly ever use the in-between positions, which might seem a little odd, given this thread. But I was just curious as to what's going on here, as I've never run into this kind of thing before.

No ... the bolded line above is not correct. I don't know how else to say this: The position that has the issue is the neck/middle position - not the bridge/middle. The bridge/middle position - the second nearest the floor - sounds absolutely fine. The neck/middle position - the second nearest...

Sorry I didn't notice your question about the hum. I'll have to check that out. The guitar is shielded, so the hum is already much better than on a typical Strat, but I'll see if I can find out. I just listened to my demo with headphones, and I couldn't notice a difference, but I think it's...

I wired my guitar exactly like the picture. According to the chart posted above (in post #20): position 1 = bridge only position 2 = bridge/middle position 3 = middle only position 4 = neck/middle position 5 = neck only Are you calling position 4 bridge/middle? This is why I was avoiding...

Thanks for the info, and I can certainly try that. But I just want to reiterate that I'm not having any issues at all with the humbucking pickup in the bridge. It sounds fine, as does the bridge/middle position, which is both the Little 59 humbucker and the (supposedly) RWRP single coil. The...

I can't find a standard for numbering the positions. Some say bridge is 1, and others say neck is 1. Mine sounds of out phase when it's in the neck/middle position. The bridge/middle position sounds fine.

The out-of-phase sound you're hearing (the fourth phrase on my recording) is not involving the Little 59 at all. It's the middle/neck position, which are both single coils (the middle being RWRP). Are you saying that the Little 59 could still be causing the issue somehow?

Thanks. Yep, that's exactly what I've done. I've attached a recording here that moves through the positions from bridge to neck one at a time. The fourth one is what I'm talking about. I don't know about y'all, but I've never heard an in-between position sound so comparatively weak and thin.

@ashcat_lt @TalismanRich @Old Music Guy Thanks for the comments, y'all. I checked SD's site for wiring diagrams, and the closest one I could find is the standard 3 single coil, 5-way switch wiring. I couldn't find any wiring diagrams that mentioned anything about RWRP pickups. I'm 100% sure...
