Reversing the angle of the bridge pu

[Jimijoe]

Electronics are not my strong suit.
I have a left handed strat with a reversed head stock. My question is,”should I reverse the angle of the bridge pu?”
What sound can I expect by doing that?

Welcome to the forum!

I'd say it is an improvement to have a reverse slant on the bridge pickup, so I wouldn't change a thing. But also, stick around here and you will learn a lot about electronics...we all did!

Do you play it strung left? Or are you saying to have a left-handed guitar you play strung right-handed? If the latter, the bridge will sound more balanced with a left-handed angle under right-handed stringing.

Thanks to both of you for your replies. I string it left handed and also play it left handed, Beau, so I’ll leave the pickup alone.

I prefer the traditional angle because it visually matches the lines of the instrument better and I never use it anyway.

im a big fan of the bridge pup slanting towards the bridge on the bass side, so what would be reverse slant on a typical strat. i have an esquire and three strats setup that way.
