I have a '91 Am Strat, and I have a Di Marzio Fast Track 2 in the bridge position. I realized it is, however, out of phase when activated with middle pickup (original Fender single coil). Can I safely reverse connections on the single coil to sort out the problem?

Thanks

Do you mean I need to reverse phase on the HB? Sorry if they sound like stupid questions, but I am just a beginner with guitar electronics.

There are not stupid question, we are here to learn .I read you want to reverse phase not if you need to . I don't know if you need to

your blackwire must be on the guitar ground , pots body,
you can reverse wiring ,it is safe

Reversing the black and white wires of only one pup does reverse the phase in relationship to the other pups.

+1

I just finished building a new pickguard with CS69's. I installed a toggle switch to reverse the phase of the middle pickup. Great sound!

Yes, you can safely reverse the wires. However, you're only reversing the phase which is the direction of the flow of current. You're not reversing the direction of the magnetic field applied to the poles. The way I understand it, for hum cancellation you need both, RWRP (reverse wound reverse pole).
