Re: New stacks?
As far as I know there is a calibrated set with a bridge model and the neck/middle counterpart. When I did a beta test on these pickups all three pickups had different labels but I doubt the new Stack Plus pickups will have a different mid and neck model when they are released.
There is no hot model or variation on the bridge pickup that I am aware of.
I am not sure about the official release date but it should be relatively soon.

Re: New stacks?
All 3 are different...there is a neck model as well as a RW/RP middle and the bridge is a bit hotter and dedicated for the bridge position.

Re: New stacks?
what do you mean by "RW/RP middle"? like one middle PU stack in a set is different to one sold apart?the guy who invented fire said:

Re: New stacks?
There is a dedicated neck a dedicated middle pickup and a dedicated bridge or you can buy all 3 and have a calibrated set. The middle pickup is RW/RP which is reverse wound/reverse polairity. RW/RP is used most often in true single coils for hum cancelling in the 2 and 4 positions...the Stack Plus Middle pickup is RW/RP so it's still hum cancelling when split.

Re: New stacks?
well since all three are all a bit different is one "hotter" or "warmer" than the other?

Re: New stacks?
I'll have to take a look at my two sets. I don't know about the RW/RP thing with the middle pickup. Since they're a humcancelling stack design it doesn't seem like a RW/RP middle pickup would be needed. The bridge pickup is wound hotter than the neck and middle though...that I'm pretty certain of.

Re: New stacks?
Evan had this to say in an earlier post:
The list price will be $10 higher than the STK-S1 price here in the States ($105)
The magnets have a symmetrical stagger, so left-handed vs. right isn't an issue.
The reason there's a middle version is so -- if you decide to split all three pickups -- you'll still get hum-canceling in the #2 and #4 positions.

Re: New stacks?
I agree...but Christian is saying that in case someone wanted to use them as non-humcancelling single coils that the middle pickup is RW/RP so with that application you'd have humcancelling in the #2 and #4 switch positions. Just to be sure, I'm going to check my sets and see if that's really the case, but Christian is usually right about this kind of thing. Lew
