I’ll freely admit I didn’t use every single option. That’s right, even the guy that made that interpretation of it overlooked an option. I don’t think I’ve seen it on a wiring diagram, you’ll just have to reason your way through that one probably.įunny you should say that, the Jonesy Blues wiring harness was the one I procured (there are a few different versions for sale out there), and despite I think the documentation outlining what you get with 21 different settings, I actually found a few options that weren’t detailed that did come up with more distinct sounds. These can actually be wired to happen with a single DPDT switch, so if you’re considering marrying the two features for ease of on/off, that’s totally doable. Series naturally makes everything louder, especially lower frequencies, and seemed to very nicely beef up what you “lose” with the phase switch. What I found did a decent job of remedying this was engaging both the out-of-phase option with the switch to series at the same time. With just a magnet flip, you get that weird nasal thing but without nearly as much loss of volume or “substance.” Unfortunately, that can’t be turned off with the flick of a switch. If one pickup’s volume or tone strays too far from the other’s value, that pickup just drops out. Additionally, unbalanced levels on either the volume knobs or the tone knobs doesn’t yield as many playable colors. When simply wired out-of-phase, it does seem to lose a lot of midrange, and volume. I’ve done that setup as well, and having compared it to another Les Paul that instead just had the neck pickup’s magnet flipped, I can say from experience that the tonal difference is quite stark. Sounds like you wired it correctly to me. Has this happened to anyone? ANyone has tried the jimmy page mod with 50s wiring and didn't lose the middle range? When i leave the tone knob at 10 and lower the volume the result is great, no treble lost, but with that "middle-lost" the result is a "slim" sound, no strong, maybe is because the wiring itself or I did something wrong. If i put the tone at 4 and lower the volume, the sound lose the "highs" very quick, with the tone at 0 the result is like playing inside a swimming pool. When i have the volumen at 10, it seems ok. When i use the controls, i don't get any similar to what is said here in this forum, theoretically the tone should become more bright if I leave the tone at 4/5 and lower the volume. Also i changed the strings, maybe could it be that? does it make sense? Since the mod could not add more highs, I am thinking that I lost some middle range. In general, I found the sound with more "top end" (english is not my first languaje sorry if the terminology is not accurate), i mean the highs are louder and the lows are almost the same, the result is like a "middle-lost".

The tutorial is from "Breja Tone Works", I chose it because had the 50s wiring incorporated (if it is the capacitors location), and the question I have is about the 50s wiring. I had never wired a guitar before, but following a youtube tutorial I managed to get the guitar sounding, without noise and it seems that is totally working, all the phase switching and the series/parallel options. It is a white burst signature T, and the very first time i had it in my hands I new i wanted to re-wire it to the Jimmy Page mod, to get those parallel/series and out of phase sounds. I'm new in this forum as bought my first LP recently.
