Hello everyone.
I was hoping someone could answer a question for me.

I've noticed that when playing any position single pickup that the volume is louder than when playing the 2 or 4 position using 2 pickups. Is this because of the reverse polarity middle pickup? My Tele doesn't do this. I can't really compare it to my 87 Strat plus because it has lace sensors and a Clapton preamp.

Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Do positions 2 and 4 also sound thinner frequency-wise?

Are you sure the middle RWRP pickup has been installed correctly?

It sounds like it isn't, IMO.

Do pos 2 and 4 sounds thinner then it's ok. But that's no loudness thing.

If it's really a loudness problem check out the wiring diagram on this page for your guitar type and compare with yours.

Cheers :D

Thanks for both your quick answers. I dont know about thinner, I suppose. That's the sound I've always prefered on a Strat. But they are definately quieter. Triskele I don't see a page with the wiring diagram on it. What am I missing? Thanks so much

Could be an electrical thing with two coils in parallel vs one. Twice the current needed for the same signal....
But it shouldn't be that noticable....
