Neck Pickup Polarity at Timothy Douglas blog

Neck Pickup Polarity. Pickup polarity is the combination of the wind direction and the magnet polarity within the pickup. With a rwrp middle pickup in a strat, for example, you will get hum cancelling in positions 2 Are the magnets in the pickup north up, or south up? In short, we can define the polarity of a pickup as the direction—north or south—of the magnetic field. You’ve probably seen rwrp—reverse wind, reverse polarity—in a pickup description, especially when looking for strat middle pickups. These should be the same direction, pole wise, as the bridge and neck. The middle pickup should have the opposite direction if rwrp. Some pickups (like dimarzio) are reverse wound but not reverse polarity. Consider all of the possibilities for magnetic polarity (north up or south up) and winding direction (clockwise or counter clockwise) for each of the two pickups as well as series or parallel connection of the two pickups and the possibility of the pickups being in phase or out of phase with each other and things can get a little complicated. The neck and bridge should have the same pole polarity direction. This is why most strat middle pickups and tele neck pickups are what is known as reverse wind, reverse polarity, or rwrp for short. We can define a pickup's polarity as the direction of its magnetic field—either south or north—as measured facing upward toward the strings. Taken together with the pickup's phase, which is the direction current travels through it, polarity is a critical parameter whenever you use two or more pickups in a wiring.
