Yes or No to RWRP ?

[lexsongs]

My planned PU configuration:

Parallel AxisTrembucker Blues Sarasceno PATB-3B

SSL-2 Vintage Flat for Strat Guitar Pickup

Parallel Axis Trembucker Original PATB-1 N

I will be using two recessed mini-toggles for Series/Parallel switching on the PATBs.

Is RWRP recommended for the middle pickup - or redundant - as the middle pu will only be used separately or with one or the other Trembucker.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it'll be redundant, unless you plan on splitting your trembuckers, in which case if you split the right coil you'll get hum-cancelling when using both pups together.

Oh, and welcome to the forum!!

Yeah, I was leaning toward the same conclusion. I won't be splitting coils - just seeking a quiet combo and configuration. Thanks for the reply and for the warm welcome.

If you want a quiet setup in all positions and don't mind forking out a bit more cash, you might consider the STK-S4 Classic Stack Plus. I've never used one but they come very highly recommended.

Thanks. I did some research, and these STK-S4s have leapt into the lead. Sounds like a great combination of sound and non-sound. This pup and the PATBs will, I feel, remain on the instrument for awhile - the prior group have served me since the mid 80s - and so a premium in price I consider an investment.

You could always just wire it different if you need to have the RWRP capability.
