Re: SSL-1 RWRP ?
What bridge position are you using?
I am a big fan of the SD Twangbanger bridge/treble pickup. It happens to be in the wrong relationship to an RP/RW centre pickup. On new installations, I fit Twangbanger, SSL, SSL RP/RW to keep the correct noise-cancelling relationships.

i prefer the sound of strat pickups without the hum cancellation in positions 2 and 4.

For middle ..have a hot rails in bridge and SSl-1 in neck and a duckbucker in mid....I had the duckbucker from a old project but there is a big volume drop off ,and it vol drop kills the ssl-1. in the 4 pos. thought it might work but not happening.I wanted that hendrix'ie strat clean tone aka little wing castles..etc...It 's a Mex Strat ..so original pup's weren't my cup of tea.

Re: SSL-1 RWRP ?
Combining a self-noise-cancelling, dual coil pickup such as the Duckbucker with a regular single coil involves three coils. This sets up imbalances of noise-cancellation and the degree of notch filtering. In plain English, there will still be some hum and the "quack" won't sound quite right.

Re: SSL-1 RWRP ?
What's special about the Twangbanger that causes it to be backwards from a normal Strat bridge pickup? Does it apply to normal Tele bridge pickups as well?
The reason I ask is, I've been looking for an SSL-1 to use in the neck position of my Telecaster, paired with a STL-1 bridge. I assumed I should get a RWRP "middle" SSL-1 so that the bridge/neck combination would be hum cancelling. Is this correct, or are Tele and Strat bridge pickups naturally backwards from each other?
