Which humbucker to combine with 2 Antiquity "surfers"single coils?

Thing is, Surfers are in phase with current Fender humbuckers. They are one of the few Duncans out of phase with the rest of the line. A Pearly Gates Plus should also be in phase.

I see the info below from captl975.

Thanks Clint 55 PFDarkside and Mincer . Appreciate the input, good stuff to chew on and share with my local shop tech.

Here's the Fender specs sheet and wiring diagram, it's just one of these newish ultra strats with HSS. Pg. 4 has the wiring assembly and 6 has the pickup polarities

And this is what was shared about the Surfers:

"Here is a chart that gives you the wind direction and polarity of our single coil pickups:
Seymour Duncan Normal Wind: Counter Clock-Wise, South Up
Seymour Duncan Rw/Rp Wind: Clock-Wise, North Up
Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Surfer Normal Wind: Clock-Wise, South Up
Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Surfer Rw/Rp Wind: Counter Clock-Wise, North Up "

- Does this and the wiring diagram clarify if Surfers should work? And if so, how I'd go about it or share with my local tech?

- For now I'm ok with keeping the stock ultra noiseless splittable humbucker with the S-1 switch. I'd consider swapping that out too, happy to take suggestions


Thanks!
