Flip the neck pickup mag. It will sound a little thinner than a pickup made to do the PG mod but it will be out of phase.

Your bridge pickup with the 3 mags is a 500T. you really want to try something? Pull out the 2 small ceramic mags and leave the middle one alone. Some have liked that tone as well. Just for shit and giggles, try it. Have fun with it.

Thanks for your help WB, just a question about the correct way round for the 3 magnets in the bridge pickup, they all have white dots on them, they were taken out of the pickup without marking them so i dont know the original orentation,

I've been thinking about doing that. I'm gonna have to try it. I actually like the 500T, it makes a great slide pickup, especially split.
