Hi, I just want to know if it is possible to get phase switching out of a 4 way swich.

Thanks in advance

Not if you want both neck+bridge (in phase) *and* neck+bridge (out of phase).

It might be possible with a strat 5 way switch, but with odd switch positions.

You might be able to adapt something from this link... http://guitarnuts.com/wiring/triffic/index.php Have fun.

does anyone know what this could look like on a 4 way switch? I'm just curios if this is at all possible and if it is easily done

What do you mean by "this could look like"? If you mean parallel out of phase then it is not possible with a single 4 way switch only, unless you're willing to give up parallel in-phase.

Why is that? Sorry, I'm new at the whole wiring business and am trying my best to learn as much as possible.

In order to do phase reversal, you need both poles of the switch. You then need one more pole to do the parallel function.

If you use a strat switch, the 'in phase' parallel function is provided mechanically by the switch, so you can use both poles of the switch for the phase reversal. However the positions are counter-intuitive.

I have oop in my Baja and I hardly ever use it. Just try it before you commit.
