The out of phase sound....
There have been a lot of 'experts' tell us how to get this sound over the years...
Some have recommended rewiring.
Peter never did this... He simply removed, disassembled and reassembled the neck pickup without removing or unsoldering any wiring.... What he did do was 2 things...he put the magnet in the wrong way round, which is the main change...and he put the whole pickup in facing the other way to how it had been originally....
There was NO change to the wiring. The nasal sound only appears in the centre switch position, and changing the controls does find you that 'sweet spot' I have read SO many conflicting articles on this, but I can categorically tell you that the above works! Peter's old ebony Les Paul that I now own had been set up for him like this!!!
There is even one company in the states, CVguitars, now actually taking Les Paul faded standards, and converting them to this format!
Gibson WILL eventually do a signature guitar, I would put money on it!!
