Wondering if anyone out there has wired in a humbucker into a Drop Top in place of the H2+?
I had a Fralin Humbucker I wanted to try in the bridge of my HDT. I tried following the original pickup wiring (although the Fralin uses different color coding) and it works, but when I choose position 4 on the 5-way switch (Middle and Bridge) the volume drops tremendously (out of phase maybe?).
The Fralin sounds fine by itself but not with the other 2 pickups. I then tried pulling the 2 pickup wires that were soldered to the toggle but no difference.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks

sounds like out of phase.
if you're not using the parallel sound, try reversing the hot and ground leads.

Yes, that worked.
Thanks very much for the info!
