HSH Out of Phase Issue

  • Hello, all!


    I know this isn't exactly Kemper related, but I really would like some help understanding an issue I'm currently having.


    Recently, I installed a set of Suhr SSH+, ML, and SSV pickups in an HSH guitar (5-way switch) and I noticed that positions 2 and 4 sound a bit out of phase.


    I don't have an image, but here's a basis of the wiring for the pickups:


    Humbuckers (SSH+ - bridge and SSV - neck):

    Black and bare wire were soldered to ground, red and white were soldered to a mini toggle switch for coil split, and the green wire was soldered to the 5-way pickup selector switch.


    Single Coil (ML):

    Black wire was soldered to ground, and white wire was soldered to pickup selector switch.


    I have 2 speculations of the issue:


    1. Both humbuckers are wired out of phase, causing positions 2 and 4 to sound out of phase (nasally).

    2. The single coil is wired out of phase, causing positions 2 and 4 to sound out of phase (nasally).


    Does anyone here know what could be the culprit and how to remedy this? Any help would be appreciated!
