Re: Pickup Help

what's rw/rp??

Reverse wound/Reverse polarity. I believe that the purpose for this is when you combine two single coil pickups, you achieve a humbucking effect.

Re: Pickup Help

alright, i am just learning about pickups myself, so thanks for the help. would a rw/rp ssl-1 be better in either of the positions or would it not matter?

Re: Pickup Help

so is it a short scale set neck mahogany guitar? id say the ssl1's would be a good choice to match with the bb pro, rw/rp for one of em so when both singles are on youll get hum cancelling.

Re: Pickup Help

P.P.S.

The guitar is one my brother strted to build so it is not any particular model, I would probably compar it most to a Gibson either a Les Paul or SG. Yet it does have some Strat similarities.

Well, right now I'm pretty much debating between Seymour Duncan's SSL-1, APS-1, and APST-1 pickups. However, I'm not sure which position these pickups are best at. If you could tell me where these pickups preform the best and if you have a different preference of pickup I should think about.

Thanks

P.S. - I have a Gibson Burstbucker Pro Humbucker at the bridge and am
looking for two single coil pickups for the middle and neck positions.
