I want to move my bridge pickup to the middle position and replace it with a hotter bridge pickup.
The question is can I just reverse the wires on the pickup to make it reversed for the noise cancelling 2 & 4 positions?

As I understand it, reversing the wires will not reverse the phase of the pickup. It has to be wound for reverse phase.

Right? Is that right, or was I misinformed?

I'm fairly sure that you're right.

Thanks ,I thought so but wasn`t sure. Maybe I was thinking of flipping the
pickup around top to bottom? fit problem then.

I can`t handle the 60 cycle hum.I will have to decide on a noiseless design that doesn`t empty my wallet.

Guess, I will order a set from Bill & Becky Lawrence of the Noise free singles.
L280S neck and mid with the L290SL or L298S bridge.

Anybody here have them?

If the pickup in the middle has magnetic polarity the opposite of the neck and bridge, then reversing the wires will give you noise cancelling in positions 2 and 4. If the pickup doesn't have opposite magnetic polarity, then reversing the wires will just put it out of phase with the other pickups.

do you have a compass handy?

Read this thread from over in the Pickups Forum.

Not much correct info in THIS thread, I'm sorry to say.
