Hi, I have a ‘77 3 pickup LP Artisan & after a couple of years of ownership I thought I’d try tinkering with some alternate pickup options as a change from the original tarbacks that were in it. (originals were about 16k neck & bridge and about 7.5k middle & sound a bit dark & thick). Latest experiment was a set of Lindy Fralin Pure PAF’s but when I popped them in they were out of phase with the middle pickup. Since they are braided wire I can’t change the phase on them or the middle pickup. Just wondering if anyone knows if this is just the way Fralins are? If so, what is the reason? I can’t find any discussion or mention of them being deliberately out of phase with standard humbuckers ( I tried a SD Phat Cat in the middle position from another guitar & it was out of phase with the Fralins too). Is there an explanation for this that anyone knows of? Much appreciated! (Hello from Ireland, by the way...)
