I have a set of Duncan P90 supposed to be coming from a PRS Mc Carty . One of those PU is supposed to be RWRP . Is there any way I can check which one is RWRP ?

Re: RWRP : how to check ?
When I've done this with a set of Strat pickups it's easy to tell which is the RW/RP one, by seeing how they attract/repel each other: you move the tops of any two of the three pickups towards each other. The two that repel each other top to top are the same polarity, hence the other one is RW/RP.
Are there only two? Hmmmmmm. :scratchch

Yes. That's also a good way to tell which is the RW/RP middle pickup in a set of Strat pickups if they get mixed up. The one that is attracted to the other two will be the RW/RP middle pickup. Lew

May be there is a way. I have a pair of duncan vintage p-90. They doesn't come stock RPRW but you can make one of them by fliping both the magnets AND swaping the conetors that come out of the coil. I did this myself and it is pretty easy. One of the conectors it is solded to the baseplate and the braided shield, and the other one it is solded to the hot conector. One of the cables that comes out of the coil it is white and the other it is black. Now I don't remember which one it is soldered to the hot and which it is to the ground from factory but i can check it when I arrive home.
The pickup that has the conectors swaped should be the RWRP.
To see how to do it yourself check the answer to question 34 on "Seymour Q&A"

OK , thanks guys
I have compared the PUs to my Mc Soap ones and they are similar.
