Dave	Re: Another phasing question I'm just curious as to how phasing works when you're using 3 coils at once. On my (now 13 combination) 570, The humbucker coils are RWRP with regards to each other and the adjustable coil is RWRP with regards to the middle single coil. But the slug coil is definitely not RP with regards to the middle coil, and my head starts hurting when I try to figure out if it's RW..... I'm too new at this lark. But it works when you coil cut the adjustable coil and I don't notice any phasing when the humbucker is parallel or series in position 2/4. I find this curious.... What I also find curious is that the schematics for the Jem / RG / Pretty much any other Ibanez guitar on the Ibanez site cut to the 'inside' coil of each humbucker for positions 2 and 4. I've always found this to be a particularly non-quacky sound on 24 fret guitars, and I vastly improved my own 570's 2/4 sound when I flipped the magnets in the humbuckers and cut to the outside adjustable coils instead. Cheers, Dave
