RWRP only effects the HUM in the signal.....not the phase relationship of the harmonics generated between the two pickups or the overall phase relationship.

 

Basically an outside signal will be phase cancelled because the two coils picking up the signal will be in different directions. The OUTSIDE HUM signal hitting one coil will be generated out of phase with that same HUM same signal hitting the other. Since the magnets have nothing to do with THAT component of the signal the hum is cancelled.

 

The signal generated by the guitar string is created by the combination of the magnets, coils and string vibrational direction. Since the magnets are reversed AND ALSO the coil is reversed...the signal generated by the string is NOT phase cancelled by the two pickup coils. This is the principle behind humbucking that Seth Lover invented in the 1950's

 

 

.......(except for that tiny amount caused by the different location of the coil along the string which I have explained creates the quack if it's a large space)

 

So RWRP gets rid of hum but not quack....because RWRP does nothing to fix that space gap between the two coils.
