How do I correct the phase reverse problem when I mixed Kinmans with another pickup?
If we are talking single coils as the other pickup then the best solution is to fit more Kinman’s. But it’s possible to simply re-magnetise the magnets of single coils in the opposite polarity. This can only be done by someone who has magnetizing apparatus, like a pickup maker or pickup repairer {re-magnetization can be done by Kinman Guitar Electrix}. Another solution is to reverse the wires of the single coil pickups (not recommended because of noise issues). You can not do this with the Kinman’s because the magnets will become live and will make hum if touched. Also see below. Many side-by-side humbuckers (and noiseless single coils) have 4 conductor cabling that enables phase reversal easily. If your side-by-side humbucker only has a 2 conductor cable then it’s a bit more tricky. Easiest is to carefully remove the magnet and flip it over so the North and South poles get reversed. Alternatively you can reverse the termination points of the Kinman’s. We don’t actually recommend this
