Hello; I replaced my pickups with an Epiphone split coil system. I went from the ProBuckers (Standard 50’s) to the Alnico Pro‘s. I purchased the 4 wire system from an Ebay’er who took out of a newer Epiphone.
When I did the solderless swap (Except ground) i found that when I Pull on the volume knobs that the sound is 100% better, but when they’re pushed in, the Sound is very scarce. I have used split coil Systems in the past with other guitars and usually it is the reverse. I double checked the connectors to see if they were inserted backwards, and double checked the wiring, and it is all correct according to the Epiphone specs. But I’m just puzzled as to why the operation Is in reverse. Could I have received a bad wiring harness? Or a bad pickup set? I can get used to the function, as long as I know it is correct. Thanks so much for your expertise in advance!
