Help with wiring idea

[TomGibbs]

hey guys, i really love the sound of the singles in my strat but have a fat strat and dont like the tone of the humbucker, too harsh for me, so iw ant to put the middle pickup in the bridge, but with the singles, i want to wire them to stop the 60 cycle hum in all positions, i read that Ritchie blackmores tech wired another pickup out of phase in his guitars under the pickguard on some of them to get rid of the hum.

i dont mind having two pickups in the guitar or three has i have a spare single coil lying around aswell,
anyways, can anyone think of a way for me to wire it so that it is hum cancelling. i just mainly want to have a neck pickup on its own and a bridge pickup on its own, anything else isnt as esential

thanks
Tom

I believe Blackmore lowered the middle pick up below the pickguard or removed it completely because it got in the way of his picking.

[TomGibbs]

yeah, he lowered it in the early days because he didnt like the sound of it, then when he started having them custom made, his tech made it a dud pickup

I just love Blackmores studio work from the "Who Do We Think We Are, Machine Head, Burn" era.

Not possible. Single coils are what they are...
2 singles are needed to cancell each other out...
Thus "Hum" bucker...
Now if you have stack singles, that's a whole new ballgame...

u might want to contact John Suhr http://suhrguitars.com/- apparently he has device ( forget what its called) that goes in your guitar that makes your precious single coils act like humbuckers with out actually being humbucker pickups.

That looks like a great idea. Actually I rarely ever use th emiddle coil myself so I wonder how that middle pickup dummy thing works? Its flush with the P/G. Then again so is my neck pickup almost. But I just wonder how that backplate device really effects the guitars tone.
