Description
Seymour Duncan Psychedelic Strat Middle RWRP Parchment Pickup
The Psychedelic Strat Middle RWRP Parchment is a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity single-coil engineered to eliminate hum when combined with standard-wound pickups in positions one and three. Loaded with Alnico V magnets and voiced at 6.07k DCR, this middle-position voice delivers the articulate high-end and midrange presence that sits perfectly in a three-pickup Strat rig, giving you true single-coil definition across all switching positions without compromise.
Tone & Performance
The RWRP (reverse-wound, reverse-polarity) design cancels the 60-cycle hum that normally plagues full three-single-coil setups, so you can run all five pickup combinations on stage with confidence. Built on Alnico V magnets and tuned to 6.07k output, this pickup preserves the classic articulate, woody character expected from a middle position—balancing clarity with midrange without active electronics or shielding band-aids. Your tone stays pure and your stage rig stays quiet.
Specifications & Construction
Hand-crafted in the United States, this passive pickup ships with a 2-conductor lead ready for direct installation into any standard Stratocaster middle position. The parchment cover provides both vintage authenticity and practical shielding, fitting seamlessly into vintage-spec builds and modern player setups alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does RWRP mean, and why does it matter?
RWRP stands for reverse-wound, reverse-polarity—the pickup's coil and magnet orientation are opposite to standard pickups. This design cancels the 60-cycle hum that normally occurs when you select positions two or four (bridge-middle or middle-neck) on a traditional Strat, giving you a quiet, hum-free three-pickup setup without sacrificing single-coil tone.
Is this pickup suitable for beginners?
Yes. The Psychedelic Strat Middle is voiced for classic, articulate single-coil tone and works across all skill levels—from beginners learning standard Strat voicing to professionals tracking or performing live in blues, rock, country, and funk.
What are the specs, and how does it install?
It's a passive, hand-crafted single-coil with Alnico V magnets, 6.07k DCR output, and a parchment cover. It ships with a 2-conductor lead for direct installation into any standard Stratocaster middle position—no modification required.
What genres is this pickup best for?
The Psychedelic Strat Middle excels in blues, rock, country, and funk where vintage single-coil clarity and hum-free operation are priorities. It is not voiced for metal or djent styles.
Can I use this with my existing pickups?
Yes, as long as your neck and bridge pickups are standard-wound (not already reverse-wound). The RWRP design in the middle cancels hum with standard pickups in positions one and three, restoring full three-position switching without noise.
