SSS Vintage S pickup question

[jer_vic]

I recently purchased a Vintage S.  While I'm waiting for it to show up, I've been doing a bunch of research (Googling....) about it.  My understanding is that the pickups are all Seymour Duncan APS-1 single coils.  My question is, does anyone know if the middle pickup is reverse wind, reverse polarity (RwRp)?

Thanks in advance....

Are the in-between positions  (2and 4) hum-free? If so, the pickup is reverse wind and reverse polarity.

Dibs on the Vintage S if you don’t like it….

My regular Vintage S had 3x old style Seymour Duncan SSL-1 pickups - I swapped them out for a contemporary Hotrails set - I'll find them and let you know.

 

Cheers,
Ben.

Thanks!  I'll check that when I get my hands on it.

Thanks!  Mine is a 1995.  The place I found on the internet that said the pickups were APS-1 could very well be wrong. It will be a couple weeks before I have it in hand - picking it up on a trip through Calgary in August.

Lovely! I’m a big fan of these things.
