I have a voodoo copy strat 80s model with the reverse wound pickups jimmy hendrix style. I most recently have noted a 25dB decrease in volume intensity when switching between the bridge and the out of phase second position on the toggle. Any ideas as to why the change in volume and tone for the out of phase position? Help! slpman37@yahoo.com is an email you may respond to as well if you want. Thanks for any help you can provide.

That is normal for out of phase. On guitars with 2 volume controls if you back of one of the volume controls just a touch the volume will pick back up again.
I have an LP with with the Peter Green mod which places the pickups out of phase when the pup selector is in the middle position.

chet, thanks for replying so soon. I really have just noticed this change in intensity in the last gig (week or so.) Typically the out of phase is not a "squaky" as the standards but has always held its own in relation to the bridge p/u's volume. Is there any possibility that the p/u or switch are shot? do you have yahoo messenger that we could discuss more readily? mine is profznmu1511 at yahoo, if you're able/interested.
