Way to identify Antiquity surfer RW/RP in HSS strat?

[\m/(00)\m/]

Hey everyone, I’m struggling right now with my Strat. I’ve known for a while that when i originally ordered a loaded pick guard from a specific company a few years ago that they accidentally installed my surfers backward, with the RW/RP in the neck and not middle, i was able to accommodate this by just altering the wiring from my HB in the bridge (a custom/59), unfortunately that led me to have the lower output 59 coil as the auto split coil instead of the slightly stronger output custom coil. So last night i moved the neck and middle positions and and rewired the bridge pickup, but now I’m completely out of phase (again), and when i switched the HB wiring back, it was still kinda phasey sounding.

im a little lost and want to start from a clean slate and rewire the whole thing, which leads me here:

How do i identify which of the antiquity surfer pickups is the RW/RP and which is not?

There was a thread on here a while back where someone discussed ways to check, one being putting a compass or polarity tester to the tops of the single to determine which is north up vs south up.

If you had to swap coils on your Humbucker to get the split bridge to humbuck the RW/RP IS in the middle. For a Duncan Humbucker and a single to be hum cancelling used together when the Bucker is split as normal the single has to be a standard wind. They installed the RW/RP in the middle and the standard in the neck. The standard wind single needs to go to the middle if you want to split to the Custom coil.

AFAIK, the antiquity RW/RP is north magnetic. If I'm right, then it is supposed to go in the neck for a HSS setup. The slug coil of the humbucker is also North magnetic, so they should both cancel hum in pos 2 and 4.
