Popped a lovely Mojo Goldfoil in the neck position of my tele… of course it was out of phase.
Swapped the bridge pickup hot and ground and no sound at all from the bridge pickup, neck worked fine. Hmmm.
Swapped the bridge wires back and reversed the hot and ground on the gold foil. Perfect, in phase, sounding lovely…. Until I touched the cover of the gold foil which now buzzes like a bastard.
Swapped the GF wires back and no buzzing but out of phase.
What am I missing or do gold foil pickups need a specific polarity bridge pickup to pair with?!
Pic because it’s pretty:
