The magnet is flipped inside.
That's what makes the tone change.
The rotation of the pickup is only because that's how Peter Green had his.
When you play in the middle position with both volumes at 10, it plays out of phase.
Otherwise, everything else is normal.
can anyone describe the "out of phase" sound?

I'm not sure this is correct. Mine sounds out of phase at any volume in the middle position. Perhaps what you're saying is that the treble and neck positions are normal, and the middle position is always out of phase.
Sweet looking guitar Mike V. It looks a lot like mine. I wish I had been able to afford a Les Paul when I had been playing for a year. Those were the Silvertone days!
That was the way that I thought Larry explained it to me.
That if I turned the volume to 10 on both in the middle position it was out of phase and any other volume setting would not be.
It's how it sounds on mine. If I turn the volume down to 9 on either one, it's back in phase.
Also, I can afford Gibson's as a newbie because I'm old (41), married to someone that is very cool and we don't have kids.
We can do whatever we want!
Go to http://www.cvguitars.com/LCPG-48/ and scroll to the bottom of the page; click on "middle position".
That's Larry playing that guitar in the middle position. He does this for all the guitars that are marked sold.
