Hey all,
I have a set of single coils ready to install in a strat, and am a little unsure of how to wire the RWRP middle pickup and the bridge pickup.
Vintage flat strat at the neck (SSL-2 - all good on this one)
Vintage flat strat RWRP (SSL-2 rwrp) in the middle - I assume I still mount it with the 'triangular' piece of the baseplate facing the bridge, which means the wire and black wire are on opposite sides than the neck pickup. Do I still connect white and black wires as per the wiring diagram?
custom flat strat (SSL-6) at the bridge. This one has no triangular baseplate, and the black/white wires come out of opposite ends. Do I simply mount it by matching the white wire to the same side as the white wire on my neck pickup which has the triangular baseplate?
Last question - I'm using solid covers and the coil wiring seems very exposed/fragile. It's my understanding that these pickups are not wax potted because they're vintage reproductions. Would I have anything to gain/lose by wax potting them in the solid covers to ensure nothing gets damaged?
thank you very much
