Can you make me a RWRP pickup to match with my 1959 Orville Stratoplaster guitar?
There is no agreement in the pickup industry which direction pickups should be made and even pickups made by the same company—i.e. Gibson will differ in orientation from year to year and model to model. You can not be sure when you mix pickups of different manufacture (or even pickups from different batches made by the same manufacture) that the pickups will be in phase with each other, let alone the possibility of them being reverse wound reverse polarity from each other. If you never use both pickups at the same time phasing or RWRP will not affect the tone of the individual pickups. As far as the term RWRP goes all that means is one coil in comparison to another has the magnetic polarity and winding direction reversed. In other words, RWRP is a relative term. The pickup is only RWRP relative to the other pickup(s) it is being matched with. This will make a combination when both pickups are used at once that will minimize 60 cycle hum. You can’t call up and order a RWRP pickup to mix
