Rwrp PU position in a strat 7 way setup

[Tomax]

Hello

I am wondering what is the best position for the RWRP PU in a strat set with 3 single coils and a 7 way switch (enabling neck + bridge and all 3 at the same time)

If the neck is rwrp then I assume neck + midle and neck + bridge will be noiseless which could be a better option than the classic set up as I will probably use neck + bridge a lot with overdrive

However would it change the sound, would I loose the quacky sound on middle + bridge or it would be same quack, just noisy?

Thanks in advance

Yeah, putting the rwrp in the neck does work well. Another improvement you can do is use a blender knob to engage your 7 way switching instead of a switch. That way you can blend in just a tad when you're on neck or bridge and get some hum cancellation to your mostly neck or mostly bridge sounds. Position 2 will sound the same. (There's like a 1% difference I think, but others disagree.)
