I have some pickup tech questions. Sorry if they have been asked before
1) When "Soldering one side of a capacitor to the hot terminal of a pickup and the other to ground" what exactly is meant by the 'hot terminal'? Is that a pin on a pot where one of the pickup wire goes? Specifically for SD what colour wire is that? Or am I missing the point?
2) Are bar magnets available for sale if one wants to customize a pickup? Are there different lengths for Fender/Gibson spaced pickups? Is there a sure visual way of confirming the type of pickup? Where can these mags be purchased?
Thanks in advance!
