Peter Green mod for Bluesbird?

[dougdnh]

I was thinking of rewiring my '00 bluesbird with a push pull pot so I could do an out of phase sound. Anyone do this?

Easy peasy so long as one of the pickups is 4-wire.

[edit - 4 wire is not needed for phase]

The used '59™ bridge SH-1b and the '59™ neck SH-1n didn't come with 4 wires in the 199x-2001 Westerly built Bluesbirds, so you would have to replace one pickup with a 4 wire version.

I actually swapped out the stock pu's for Rose California's which have 4 wires. Great Alnico II pickups!

Push-pull pot , then.

A followup - I just did this mod - love the slinky T-Bone Walker sound I'm now getting on my bluesbird with the pot pulled up. However I used the Seymour Duncan wiring diagram to do it, and there is an error in their diagram. Took me a while surfing the web to get it right. Also, I you don't need a 4 wire pickup to do it.

D'oh - you're right! 4-wire is for coil splitting. Sorry about that!

Glad you got it working.
