Only three thoughts:

1) Why would you want two reverse wound pickups? Wouldn't they cease being reverse at that point?

2) Decide what you want.

3) Order it today before they launch the new website (and price structure).

1. to get a humbucker sound when in the middle position
2. its hard
3. I don't have the money right now

I thought to get a humbucking sound you just need to run them in series?

I'm not telling you you're wrong, as I only have a basic understanding of how these things work.  :icon_tongue:

it makes them hum cancelling, series would work but then i would get some humming action, reverse winding fixes that problem  :icon_thumright:

Rouse, let me learn you how to get humbucking sound:

1. One regular wind pup
2. One reverse-wound reverse polarity (RWRP) pup
3. Wire them in series (i.e. send the + of one pickup into the - of the other). 

That's what a humbucker is, no more and no less.

"Reverse" is always relative to something else. Two "reverse" = same direction, no hum cancel. Whoever you got your information from is way, totally wrong.

Thanks, I got my info from some random guy who reviewed these pickups. I'll just get the bridge wound in reverse.

I thought the arm contour and the tummy cut came standard on a Strat type body?

Oh, and what is the 720 mod?

and thirdly, when are they launching the new website and price structure?
