RWRP middle pickup question

I think Beagle has a few things to try. It's almost impossible to diagnose something like this without the guitar in hand.
 
Thanks for all the replies and ideas, y'all. I've been super busy and haven't had a chance to look at it again, yet, but I will and will report my findings.
 
WADDA DOPE!
So, I just finished wiring up my new Strat build. As always, before I set the neck, it took the wired body and plugged it into my amp. SOP, right? Check for buzz. Check for hum. Check the wiring. So I'm sitting there, WITH A FREAKING SCREWDRIVER. And then... DOH!

My sincere apologies for being "that guy". :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::spank::spank::spank:
 
I have never liked the reverse wound middle pickup on fender strat pickuo sets sets.
The tone is not as good as it is with traditionally woud sets, warts (60 cycle hum) and all.
If 60 cycle hum is unbearable but you want the best tone....get a noise gate instead of a RWMP

You mean in position 2 and 4, where you have those sort of in-between "quack" sounds? I love those sounds, and as a guy with a Hendrix-themed username I'm really surprised you don't too.

2 and 4 are my personal favorite strat positions.
Number 4 was Rory Gallagher’d favorite position.
:thumbs up:
 
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.

If you're playing at a venue with a lot of neon, fluorescents, and other lousy noise, it makes sense to have an RWRP in the mid.
As for playing in your bedroom, or jamming with friends, it makes no difference at all.

At the end of the day, the only person it matters to is the player. There really is no need to get bent out of shape about it. Nobody is gonna change their mind based on your opinion. IMHO.
