Rw tele pup question

chris77

Some help please. I want to keep my bridge pup but replace the neck pup on my tele. It will be one of the Tonerider pups (not sure which one yet). Now the tonerider pups are reverse wound to cancel hum, but the stock bridge pup isn't. How will it affect the middle position if I pair the two? I also have a 4-way that i want to use to give the tele more variety. Will it be a good idea to use it with a rw and the stock pup? Heck, will it even work? I can always buy the whole set, but the stock bridge pup in that tele is one of my favourite sounds of all my guitars.

The Toneriders adhere to Fender wiring conventions for single-coils, so a Tele neck will work perfectly with a Fender bridge pup and if the neck is RWRP, the two together will cancel hum.

Great, thanks Alan! I was worried there might be polarity issues causing a thin, weakened signal. So, I can wire it as per the fender 4way diagram on their site then?

As long as the neck pickup's metal cover is grounded separately - there should be a note of that on the wiring schematic.

Thanks Nico. I will do so.
