Seymour duncan lipstick pickups: lefty compatible ?

[JustDave]

Hi,

I'm thinking about buying the SLD-1b + SLD-1n for my new lefty guitar.
Can anyone verify these are fully lefty compatible ?

By the way, there's only one video of these duncans on the net ! And it's on a 12 string..
Sounds nice but I wish I could listen to some more audio clips.
So if anyone has them installed or can point me to some audio clips, let me know !

Anyway back to the original question, no problem putting these in a lefty if I decide to do so ?
There's no special righty wiring/winding going on inside the pickups that I don't know of ?

Thank you
David

Every pickup is lefty compatible......you simply flip the pickup around. From my experience with staggered strat pickups it seems the lefty way might be better as I have not had issue with string balance as others have.

AlexR is on point here. Any pickup could be flipped. With the Dano type pickups there is no difference in sounds or volume balance if the pickup is flipped one way or the other. it is a pretty crude design really, a bar magnet with the coil wound around it....but man it sounds special!
