Folks :

Well , since I have humbuckers ...........


I was looking into this modification to add a little more to the raw textural palette of my electric guitar . Any one here know about this or actually did it ?

Seems there are two ways to do this . And what I have read they both accomplish the objective .


Sincerely :

Hey HR, I have no idea how to modify the pickups in an electric - any time I ever need anything like that done I always go to my local music store. Usually that kind of work is fairly inexpensive and I'd trust someone else over myself on that kind of thing. I'm qualified to change strings, that's about it

Brian :

Below is a link that shows someone's Peter Green mod project - I noted that he had a " problem " .

And as you stated you take your guitar to a qualified person who " knows " what they are doing .


I am thinking maybe I mod some other similar Seymour Duncan pu I have before I do it to my main axe heh heh heh ,

Easy an thanks for those great vids .

There's a guy on youTube who has some clips posted of him playing Peter Green stuff on a "PG modified" guitar (I think he converts LPs and sells them); might search that and see if he has any info on his site about the conversion. Great tone--very different from a regular LP. PG himself was, of course, amazing--one of those "what might have been" questions that will never be answered. I think Green's original LP sold to a collector within the past couple of years for over a million bucks or something crazy.

hi,
there is a british company called bare knuckle pickups that does a set of peter green wired out of phase pickups,from the reviews they recieved in the magazines when they came out and from the sound samples I have heard they absolutely nail that need your love so bad hollow vocal tone.
Hope this helps. there are some good clips on you tube for these pickups.

Thanks from across the pond I am checking them out now .

You'll also need a guitar that has the Les Paul type control layout as there's a sweet spot you'll need to dial in on the volume pots - normally round the middle of range on both but you'll need to fiddle to get it right.
