Our Tele neck pickup is RWRP. StewMac pickups are designed to capture the tone and response of late '50s originals. Unlike vintage pickups, our Tele neck pickup is reverse-wound with reversed polarity magnets (RWRP). This gives you hum-cancelling output in the middle position of the 3-way switch.

Setting your pickup height
Leave about 1/8" between the Low-E polepiece and the bottom of the string when fretted at the highest fret, and a 3/32" gap for the High-E. If single-coils are set too high, their magnetic pull on the wound strings can cause false notes.
