I sold my Eric Johnson Strat and while I don't feel too much regret I do mss that funky, in between pickups out of phase tone Strats excel at. Is it possible to get that same tone from a Les Paul?
I've owned three 3-pickup Customs and I think when those come out of the factory the middle pickup selector switch setting is the bridge pickup and the middle pickup wired out-of-phase - I've never been impressed with that sound so I've always done the three volume knob, one master tone knob mod which I love. But could I have someone wire the middle pickup so it's out of phase with the rhythm and treble pickups, so when I choose the middle and either of the other two pups I'd get close to a funky Strat tone?
I've also owned several PRS Standards and Customs and those guitars always have that funky tone as one of the rotary switch positions, so I know you can get it with humbuckers, although they're probably split when that position is selected.
Thanks!
