You'll have to excuse me if this is a basic question, but I'm new to this. I thought I had done my research but the polarity on the STK4m is the opposite of what I expected, and I'm hoping I'm just missing something and it's unique to stacked pickups.
From what I understand, the Seymour Duncan standard for normal pickups (except for a few) is counter-clockwise south up. RWRP is clockwise north up. Using a compass, I verified that the screw coil of the bridge humbucker is south up, as expected, and the slug coil (RWRP) is north up. The neck pickup (normal - not RWRP) is south up as expected. But the STK4m, which is supposed to be RWRP, is also south up according to the compass. I was expecting it to be north up. Is this correct? Will the stk4m, when split, properly pair with the middle pickup for hum cancellation?
