LFOscalator	Re: Would a 3- P90 Les paul sound like a strat? Yes, too a certain extent you will get the out-of-phase strat sound with P-90's if you reverse wire the middle pickup. To get a strat out-of-phase-sound requires the middle pickup to be wired with opposite polarity. That's why it is 'out-of-phase'. It's best to do this using reverse wound pickups, but to my knowledge P-90's do not come optionally reverse wound. In other words, you will have to reverse the leads on the middle pickup to get the sound your looking for. But theoretically it should work. LFO
