TECH TIPS: Muddy sounding neck pickup?

Jimi Hendrix Artist Signature Strat Set Seymour Duncan

 

Muddy sounding neck pickup? Try Seymour’s quick tech fix

 

By Seymour Duncan Tech Guru Scott Miller

People often call and ask how to fix a muddy sounding neck pickup. Some years ago, Seymour taught me a cool trick to fix this exact problem. If you connect a .047 capacitor in series (directly in-line) with the hot output wire from your neck pickup, it will filter out the excess low-end, and clean up the muddy tone.  Most of the time, this solution is perfect. And, it is an easy mod that most people can do themselves.
