The Pickup Place / Schematic Help Needed

« on: July 25, 2016, 11:02:35 PM »

Guys...

I asked DiMarzio to send me a schematic to have one push/pull for the out of phase option. This is what they sent me.
My Les Paul is wired 1950's.

It still confuses me. It says at the bottom to solder the black and white wires together and tape. Yet, it shows the black and white wires being attached to the push/pull switch on the neck, tone pot.

What gives?   ....thank you!

The Pickup Place / Out Of Phase Advice Needed

« on: July 10, 2016, 11:13:59 PM »

Super Distortion in the bridge. Humbucker from Hell in the neck. Gibson, Les Paul wired 1950's style.

All I want is to have the neck pup go out of phase when the toggle is in the center position.
I don't want push/pull pots.

Can someone explain what wires go where? Is there a schematic for this somewhere?

I know this may be so simple to some, but I don't want to screw this up! lol
Thanks guys,

After doing my research I have decided on a Super D in the bridge and a Humbucker from Hell for the neck position on my '59 reissue. All in cream.

Now the b/s part. having to wait!!....Long & Mcquade here in Canada don't have those models in stock at the moment and have to order them from Dimarzio in Staten Island! If that's not bad enough, we are on the verge of a postal strike. I could order from the US, but once you factor in the dollar and shipping it's not worth the effort. Oh well. lol

I don't wait well!

The Pickup Place / Suoer D + Hum From Hell

« on: July 02, 2016, 01:13:12 PM »

Opinions needed.

Super D in the bridge and a Humbucker From Hell in the neck of a Les Paul Standard.

Are the two, too far apart in power and dynamics to be a tag team?

Does anyone have any pictures of a Super Distortion that's been taken apart?

The Trading Post / Skatterbrane for SD?

I am looking for a Super Distortion from the 70's, and I have in return a boutique, Skatterbrane Earthbrane, bridge pickup, Zebra coil. I paid $220 for this pup. Anyone have a real SD that has not been altered in any way?

Do any of you lads know why some DMZ pups use the traditional slotted screws & slugs, while
others use allen screws all around?

The Pickup Place / Super D advice needed

Hey guys, good to be here!

I want to ask the experts. I will be getting a Super Distortion for my Les Paul (Bridge)

I have the neck pickup's magnet flipped so it's out of phase. I want to keep it
that way, so since the SD's come with allen head screws, not slotted screws and slugs
how do I determine which way to install the DiMarzio to keep that out of phase sound?

any advice at all would be appreciated.
