Hi everybody!
I 'm new in this forum and I ended up here searching information for the G&B pickups that my SE Zach Myers is equipped .
Basicaly I wanted to modify the pickups so as to have a coil splitting with 2 tone push/pull pots.
I found some videos for how to and some wirring diagrams (especially from Seymour Duncan's site) and I proceed to the "operation" of Zach Myers.
There I found out that the G&B pickups are wired with a 2 conductor wire !! (Hot and a bare one)!!! As it is known you can't do coil splitting with such a wire.
So I tried to modify them in 4 conductor wire conductors.
And there came the problems :
What' s the magnetic polarity of each single pickup of humbuckers?
Is it (in order from bridge to neck) N-S for Bridge and
S-N for Neck ?? or otherwise??
I think that it should be N-S, N-S but a test with compass showed that the polarity is N-S, S-N !!!
Doing something wrong here??
Any help is welcomed
