If the OP is talking about the nasally honk tone that's typical of many Peter Green songs then that was the result of his reversing the magnet in the neck pickup of his LP. That was truly an out of phase tone and is tonally different to the strat out of phase tone which isn't actually two pickups out of phase with one another.

I've read somewhere that pickups that are magnetically out of phase with one another sound different to those that are electrically out of phase. Not sure whether that's true or not - just something I read.

I got close to the Greeny tone with my wah wah pedal set in a particular spot of the sweep (at least it was close enough for my ears!).
