well, Isn't the Fast Track 2 a hum cancelling pickup already?

okay, so the polarity of the humbuckers doesn't matter?

 

It does if you're putting the pickups into a PRS, or a guitar with that sort of pickup switching scheme. In those cases you want a humbucker with reverse polarity so the "in-between" sounds are correct.

 

Any other guitar, no it doesn't matter.
