Hi.
I couldn't get a whole set of either Duncans or Fenders, so as luck would have it, I've ended up with a used SD Alnico Pro II APS1, and two new Fender 57/62's.
I would value your opinions as to whether the APS1 would best match up with the other two as a bridge or as a middle pup.
I know that none of the three are RW/RP. But I am not sure whether Fenders and Duncans have the same polarity, or wound in the same direction (is that the same thing?). All three pups attracted a spare RW/RP pup I have.
Should I reverse the wiring on the APS1?
I've tried wiring it as a bridge pup (wires are coded blue and white; altho maybe the lead wires were replaced by the previous owner) and find that the guitar sounds weak in positions 1,2,4, & 5, with resistance reading of neck and bridge pups down to 3.0k (instead of 6.0+k).
What could be wrong here?
Would very much appreciate your inputs and help. Thanks in advance!
