  • Fender Reverse Wound

    Hello!
    I just wanted to know when and how much Fender used a reverse wound pickup as the middle pickup. (To create the humbucker effect with the other 2 pickups). So when and how ofted did Fender use this tecknic?
    Thanks fro your commenrts!

    Middle pickup you must be referring to a strat , In strat's & tele's i'm not sure if they ever used the rw/rp in any of there US standard series guitars other than Texas special kind of pickups . other Fender guitars had rw/rp .

      Yes. I meant to say Strat Pickups. I was just wondering if the rw/rp pickups (middle pickup) were only on a couple of different strats or the majority of them. Is it concidered a standard feature now? Thanks!

        That didn't come into play until the 5 way switch.
        The 5 way didn't appear on strats until mid 70s?
        RWRP?
        I've read that it started in Fender Japan around 1985-ish.
        Not sure about that.
        The early model Reissue strats still come non-RWRP.
        Maybe someone else has more info?

          None of the vintage Strats had a RWRP middle or a 5 way switch.

          Strat pickups are just about the easiest pickups to reverse electrical and magnetic polarity of, though, so it's a quick mod.
