    Thank you so much for explaining this. I could never get my head around on how to know which is the hot wire and which is the ground wire. You’ve explained it perfectly 👏👏👏👏👏

    Great video, a question please;
    what consequences does a different magnetic polarity have on the sound? Pros and nons to get a north pickup instead a south one and viceversa. Thanks so much

      I don’t think a north by itself or south by itself will sound distinctive. The idea is to use one of each together (along with reversed windings) to do hum canceling. Also, I’ve never read this part specifically, but I imagine if all pickups had the same pull on the strings, that might affect sustain or some other tonal aspect of the sound, where alternating the magnets would reduce the effect overall.

    Great video! How does that work with humbuckers? and/or a mixture of the types... Say...HSH?

      It's a little tricky with them, because the coils are essentially independent single coil pickups and can wire them so many ways. But, if the coils are in phase with each other, you can test them the same way.

    Nice video. I have a question though. Why is the middle pickup reversed magnetic polarity?

    • @hacksguitarhobby
      @hacksguitarhobby  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For noise cancellation, when used with one of the pickups next to it.

      I knew that, I was just checking to see if you knew that... just kidding...!
      My parents made me this way... just kidding...!
      Thank you for the great vid and I will check out your other vids...!

    To do a voltage polarity test you need to set the DMM on DC voltage, not resistance. You are not measuring correctly.

    Your out of touch there is an app for your phone called pole dector just point it at the pickup it will tell you all you need to know
