I have just got a rather nice set of pickups for my tele but noticed that the neck has 3 wires white. black and yellow. I am told that this is because it is RWRP. I understand vaguely what that means but I am unsure how to connect, is it simply just a case of wiring white hot, black ground and yellow ground? also, if I left the yellow disconnected would it matter?
Thanks in anticipation

*typically* put black and yellow to ground, white to switch.
check with a multimeter first though

Two of the wires will be connected to the soldering eyelets near the edge of the pickup bobbin. The third will be soldered to one of the fastening tabs of the metal screening cover. The short jumper wire that use to link the cover to the *start* end of the pickup coil should have been disconnected.
If you find three soldering eyelets AND a jumper connection from one of them to the metal cover, you probably have a coil-tapped pickup, capable of both vintage and "hot" output levels.
RPRW is a means of achieving hum-cancellation when both pickups are selected.
This is correct in the basic bridge/both/neck circuit.
It is incorrect for any circuit with series/parallel or phase reversal switching.
