Re: Coil ID

well, i know that black and white go together for one coil and and green and red go together for the other ... not sure which is which

i wonder if it matters whether the pickup in question is for neck or bridge? ...
for neck, screw coil is on top and stud coil is on bottom and vice versa for bridge pickup ...
