Humbucker Pickup
Humbucker Pickup
Humbucker pickups (electric guitar), one pickup for treble one for rhythm or is my guitar not working properly
When on the Treble setting only one of the pickups will work and also for the Rhythm setting.
I think this is the case atleast, when I set it to Trebel for example and put the volume of one pickup to Zero and the other to Max, i'll get sound from strumming, but if I change that so the one that was set to zero is set to max volume and the other to zero, I'll get no sound at all from strumming.
I have a Epiphone SG400 electric guitar with 2 humbucker pickups, basically, it looks to me like only one of the humbuckers are working at a time depending on whether its on Rhythm setting or Trebel setting, is it meant to work like this? or could my guitar be damaged/not working as it should be?
Just one of the pickups work on the middle setting.
This sounds normal.

Have You tried using the center position of the selector switch? Do you get a blend of both pickups?
