Reverse Wound Pickup Set

Can this entire set of pickups be installed in one guitar?

Yes.

The middle pickup is the only one that is 'reverse wound' which provides noise cancelling in the 2 and 4 positions on the switch.

I installed these same pickups in my Fender Squire and they sound excellent.

Thanks! I wasn't quite clear if that set consisted of THREE RW pickups for that price, but after reading it again, and your reply, it makes more sense now!

Will let you know how my set turns out.

As far as I can see, this is exactly the same as just reversing the connection polarity (wiring out of phase) for the middle pickup. You should be able to do it with any pickups.

The middle pickup is actually 'reverse' wound in reference to the other two.

You could reverse the wiring on a standard pickup, but it would sound thin unless you also reverse the 'pole' pieces.

But I haven't tried that method so I'm not sure if it would actually work the same as a true 'reverse wound' pickup.

Ah, yes, I see how a difference might be possible. It'd be interesting to hear both...

Thought I would post this info I received from GFS regarding wiring their pup's. Stuff they don't tell unless you ask, I guess.

Might be helpful to others:

All GFS Humbuckers wire the same way-

Green = + This is the Hot wire, usually soldered directly to the

toggle switch or leftmost tab of that volume control.

Red/White pair solder to each other. No Contact (Tape them off) is

for Humbucker sound, Connect to ground for Single Coil sound.

Black and SIlver solder to ground. We like the back of the volume

pot.

Dream 90's and Shielded single coils all wire the same way-

White = +

Red or Black solders to ground

Silver Shield solders to ground

Single coils are always wired the same- White or colored wire is

always +, Black always -

Blowout Single Coils- Red= Bridge, Yellow= Mid, White=Neck

Blowout Humbuckers can use either GFS or Seymour Duncan wiring

codes.

Hope this helps,
