The ONLY difference will be noise and yes that will be in 2 and 4. The string sound in ALL positions will not change.

It can’t. If you really prefer having more noise than necessary, I guess go ahead on. The actual sound from the strings will be as close to the same as the pickups are.

This has plagued me off and on for years and I finally figured it out just last month. Went in the action list and deleted that shortcut. I never want that behavior, especially accidentally.

Unfortunately I’m pretty sure they’re claiming that they hear some difference when that middle pickup is RWRP compared to one in the same position which isn’t. This is of course complete bullshit.

Described in detail above.

Fkin screwdriver test would do it without having to do any surgery at all!

I KNOW that I’m right. YOU are still confused AND either unwilling to or incapable of actually reading and understanding what anybody else in this thread is saying. It’s getting pretty frustrating. The OP doesn’t have a problem with their humbucker. You probably don’t either. There is NO...

Do the screwdriver test and post results! Do the hum check and post those results. We’ll have the answer before you have to warm up the hot stick.

Obviously! Not trying to blow up your skull, but consider for a moment that a “normal” single coil is also RWRP with respect to one of the coils of the humbucker. Whatcha gonna do now?!?

I’ve always considered those like “special effects” settings. If I’m actually honest, my one 3-pickup guitar actually has individual on/off for each. It has a Tele 3-way switch (which, nobody ever talks in numbers for these or literally any other pickup selector, only Strat), but it’s a master...

There is no standard for switch numbering. Bridge = 1 always made most sense to me, but I really just leave it in the middle so it doesn’t matter anyway. :)

Well I’m glad the fucking robots agree! If they’re wired with string sensing in phase, the string sensing is in phase. If they’re not, then not, and it doesn’t matter if it’s an HB or SC except when it comes to noise cancelling. For string sensing, it’s 1 + (1 + 1). In practice doesn’t...

Well no, BUT, IF the bridge and middle are in phase AND the neck and middle are not, it tends to indicate that it’s actually the neck pickup that’s the issue. Reversing middle might just fix position 4 and break position 2. I don’t think you answered my question about hum, and I can’t listen...

Plug the guitar into your interface and start recording. Switch to the Neck pickup. Take a screwdriver or something similar, slowly place it on the pole piece of the pickup and then very quickly pull it away. Now switch to the middle and do the same with that one. Now do it on the bridge...

Does it actually cancel hum in that position. If so, then inverting the wiring might fix the string signal, but might make the unwanted noise worse. If that is true (better string sound but worse noise), then it is in fact not RWRP with respect to the neck pickup. OTOH, if you flip phase and...
