Hi folks,
I recently bought a classic series 50s MIM strat and was hoping someone could advise about the pickup config.
As I understand it the three single coil pickups are identical.
The selector switch is standard:
1 bridge
2 bridge/middle
3 middle
4 neck/middle
5 neck
The bridge pickup is RWRP meaning that position 2 is noise cancelling, but position 4 is not.
I'm thinking, if the above is all true, I could physically swap bridge + middle pickups and swap their wiring points too, giving me the more conventional RWRP in the middle and noise cancelling on positions 2+4.
Can anyone confirm this is right, or tell me why it's not?
Is there any disadvantage or reason I wouldn't want to do this.
The guitar is exclusively for studio use so having the two noise cancelling positions would be a real benefit.
Many thanks in advance.
