Combining Seymour Duncan SSL-5 with standard Fender single coils

[vrrs]

Hi, I have a question about wiring SSL-5 pickup. I have Fender Stratocaster Standard MIM with standard ceramic single coils. I've bought Seymour Duncan SSL-5 pickup to insert it in the bridge position. As I read on SD website, Fender pickups are exacly opposite (in wound and polarity) to SD ones. From what I know standard Fender middle pickup is RWRP, so I switched neck and middle pickup in my guitar and put a standard SD SSL-5 in the bridge position. Now my pickups are(from neck to bridge): Fender Single Coil RWRP, Fender Single Coil, Seymour Duncan SSL-5. I've connected SSL-5 white wire to selector switch and black wire to ground. Is this connection ok? Or do I need to reverse wires on SSL-5.
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Quickly verify that the SSL-5 attracts the middle pickup when placed face to face, swap wires on the SSL-5 and you're good to go!

Thanks for your answer. So you mean to leave neck and middle pickups exchanged, test SSL-5 to attract middle position(old neck) and if it attarcts then reverse wires on SSL-5, am I right?

Yes. I'm sure your swapping middle and neck is the right thing to do, but if the the SSL-5 is out of the guitar you might as well check.

I like the ssl-5 with a 500k volume pot to match the fenders soundwise.
