Reverse polarity ?

Hi everyone. Quick question, I have two Fender Strat. Pickups I'm putting in a Tele ( bridge and neck). Can I reverse the leads on the neck pickup to get a middle reverse winding effect with the 2 pickups in phase?

To me, the answer to your question is very simple.
A typical 3 pickup strat has the middle pickup REVERSE WOUND - REVERS POLARITY that gives you the hum cancelling in the 2 and 4 positions.
You cant get a RWRP effect just by simply reversing the leads.

So... to answer your question with a question:
Which 2 strat pickups are you putting in the tele?
If its Neck and middle OR middle and bridge, your good to go.
If its the neck and bridge, they are 2 regular single coil pickups like those found in any regular Tele.

From your original question, I cant tell if its the bridge and neck position your are intalling into a tele OR a brige and neck pickup from your strat
But your answer is above.

take care
