GFS pickups and reverse winding
What does anyone know about reverse wound middle pickups as featured in some GFS sets? This is the case with the Vintage set I put in my Fully strat; they advertise it as acting as giving a humbucker effect in the two-pickup settings. I've also read that this arrangement provides 'funky 70's sounds'.... How common is this on true strats? If I reverse-wire that middle pickup, what will happen, what kind of sound change can I expect? Indeed, in those combined positions as it stands, the sound is muted, or has less edge.
