    To switch phase you'd need the right type of P90. All the one's I've seen have the single core wiring with a braided screen (that is also the signal ground), so aren't suitable for phase switching. You'd need to find some that had two core wiring plus a separate screen.

    For example, the Tonerider and IronGear P90 pickups both have the single core 'vintage braid' wiring.

    What pickups did you plan on using?

    At the moment I'm purely playing around with the standard ones that come with a PBG kit - which I'm assuming are not the right type ... I wasn't aware of the difference. I was going to just see how I went with them before contemplating any kind of pickup upgrade.
