About RW/RP Pickups

[fazul]

I would like to know your opinion about where to put a RW/RP pickup when you have a Humbucker in bridge position in a HSS guitar.

What is the best position for RW/RP? Neck or middle?

Thanks

Re: About RW/RP Pickups

It depends on the pickups. If you are using Seymour Duncan pickups and you want to split the bridge pickup in combination with the middle pickup, the rw/rp single will go in the neck.

If you are using a 4 conductor humbucker you can actually use the singles in either location if you are willing to do a little magnet flipping and creative wiring.

Thanks for you opinion...

I am using Surfers + SH4 JB. Now, I have RW/RP in middle and JB in bridge position. With that, I do not like the sound in position 4 of switch (middle+bridge).

Wiring of JB is Black to Switch, Green and shield to ground, red and white free joined. This is as wiring diagram of Seymour Duncan support for a HSS guitar. Although, as I think RW/RP has reverse polarity it could influence in JB.

You have two options for correcting your polatiry/phase issue. You can either wire the JB green to hot and black to ground or you can swap the Surfers.

Thank you Robert, I will try to change JB wiring first because it is more simple. I will tell you the results....

Finally, I have changed JB wiring. I swapped black and green wires and It works wonder. Now the sound is a pure sound and not before.

I am delighted with Antiquity II Surfers + SH4 JB.

Thanks
