Hello.
I have a Seymour Duncan humbucker of some sort. It was pulled out of a guitar from 1987. It could perhaps be a little newer, but I wouldn't think by much if at all.
I can't determine what model it is.
Anyhow, all of the SD wiring diagrams online show the following:
south coil as red and green, with green being the start. (mine is allen / hex pole pieces)
north coil as white and black, with black being the start. (mine is screw poles)
My pickup indeed does adhere to this color scheme as far as the south coil is concerned.
However, my on my north coil, my white is the start!
Did they change / standardize their wiring at some point?
And just to confirm, if I connect a coil to my analog multimeter, and strike the poles of that coil with a screwdriver, and the meter rises, whichever coil wire is connected to the red meter lead positive is the start of the coil, correct?
My cheap analog meter has to be set to ohms to do this, as it doesn't work on ac or dc because it doesn't have a low enough setting.
Thanks
