O! Cool. I get to ask someone who's actually owned one! I've been fascinated for years with the configuration of those 3 bucks. Euuuuhhhhhrrrrhhh??? I don't know, did you get ( like, is it even a possibility) a weird out -of -phase kind of response, as in the Strats, out of the middle buck, or what ?! As is my understanding, the coils of a humbucker are wired out -of -phase ( N to S, S to N ) to each other, so, like. What?! Is there some sort of coil tapping going on in the middle, so that you have an extra coil per p/u selection?! LIKE, DUDE, TELL ME!!! What the hell kind of noise did you get out of that thing??? HOW DOES IT WORK?! Sorry about that 82, man. The high was only 79 on Tuesday

No,the middle one wasn't out of phase, it was a neck position pickup in the middle position. It was more of an organic, glutteral tone with the middle pickup.

It was wired to a standard 3 way toggle, bridge/bridge,middle/neck. Peter Frampton has it right, though. His middle pickup isn't on the toggle, it is on independent volume and tone control, and the bridge and neck pickups are on the other set. Mine was wired so the middle pickup was on the neck controls and had no independence.

Gotta run. Responses may be spotty for a little while... I have a store to open in 2 weeks on top of a full time job..

See ya soon....
