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...

Yes, I agree it sounds bad. I have an SG with the Peter Green wiring, so it's out of phase in the middle position, but only if the bridge and neck volume are set the same. If I change one of the volumes a little bit, the middle position sounds full and in-phase again. So it's a very nice setup...

Hey y'all, I have a Strat and just replaced the stock pickups with the following pickups: Bridge: Seymour Duncan Little 59 (single coil-sized humbucker) Middle: Seymour Duncan RWRP Vintage pickup Neck: Seymour Duncan All positions sound great except for the neck/middle position, which sounds...

Nice one! I would second the notion that a few of the vocal lines could be performed a bit better. The one that sticks out to me the most is "Then there were our college days." Sounds as though a few of those notes are riding a bit flat there. The minor iv chord is a nice touch in those few...

Absolutely! And I would add that one gig is worth many rehearsals/practice sessions. You'll learn more in that 45 minutes (or several hours) about what's really working and what's not than in five or six rehearsals, IMHO.

That was a fascinating read, thanks! I don't know much about biking (aside from a little bit because my dad got into it a while ago), so it was great to learn so much about all that's involved. That's certainly a bright side to the money-chasing aspect in that case. I must say that it's harder...
