setup strato whit set Quarter Pound flt Strat (pick Middle RwRp)

on my project
I mounted this layer setup with the QP Strat RwRp middle flt on my layer and the sound is already perfect for me
for a friend I mounted the same set but at the bridge I mounted a QP Strat SSL4-Tapped flat with pushpull to also use the vintage sound that I find great with the 5-way switch now we get a lot of interesting sounds

for my setup I thought I'd put QP SSL4-Tapped on the bridge and bought it but they sent me QP SSL4-Tapped RwRp and they don't intend to replace it because they say the error doesn't depend on them

now the problem is that the QP RwRp pick has the reverse pole to SOUTH to mount it to bridge I could do it by reversing the black wires to the ground and the hot white
(or the pickup i should mount it upside down... did I say something stupid?)
do you think it can work that way


or I should change the arrangement of the pickups by mounting in

bridge / QP SSL-4-Tapped flat strat RwRp South Pole (pushpull for vintage sound)

middle / QP SSL-4 flat strat North Pole

neck / QP SSL-4 flat strat RwRp South pole

what do you recommend me to do

Thank you Zappa98

if you flip the wires, the two pups will be out of phase and sound thin when used together. there is no way you can have humcancelling and be in phase with those two pups as they are. what do you have in the neck?
 
and you want the tapped one in the bridge, yes? if you put your current neck pup in the middle and move the middle to the neck, you can use your new ssl4t in the bridge without issue and youll get humcancelling in the notch positions. youll have rw/rp pups in the bridge and neck with a "normal" qp in the middle
 
you the tapped i'll put it split to the bridge for the vintage sound
that setup i listed in the post is the only solution for you too
true?
 
this will work well and would be what i would do if i was in your situation. all pups in phase and noise cancelling in the 2 & 4 switch positions.

bridge / QP SSL-4-Tapped flat strat RwRp South Pole (pushpull for vintage sound)

middle / QP SSL-4 flat strat North Pole

neck / QP SSL-4 flat strat RwRp South pole
 
already with the QP setup that I had mounted with the treble bleed I got a very nice sound from the classic layer to heavy hard rock now with the QP tapped to the bridge with a pushpull I also have a classic layer sound like the "59"... fantastic
hello and thank you
