All 3 pickups of this set are supposed to be identical. So, no RW/RP, no different output and no different magnets.

Even though all three are supposed to have the same output, there are acceptable tolerance percentages. So, I'd check each pickup's DC resistance. I'd install them accordingly with the least resistance being for the neck, progressively through the most being for the bridge.

the 69's are my favorite pickups. clean, responsive, true vintage Fender.

the set of 3 are a set of identical pups, no order.

the trick to any pickups is the height. too low and they will sound anemic, to high will cause the dreaded "stratitis". use fender's guide as a starting point then move them up and down them according to your ear. I generally place the neck and middle a bit more up than fender's recommendation because they sound better to me. I play 10-46's original bullets.

ciao,
johnny.
