It's ok if someone prefers the flip-the-magnet method. But its not helpful to the community, some of them newbies, to propogate the idea that it's the only method.Sanford: "The hardest part about tone chasing is losing the expectations associated with the hardware."

Mincer, "need" to flip magnet in order to achieve hum-canceling? Not accurate. Magnet flipping is just one way to do that. And i would argue more invasive and labor-requiring than another alternate, which is to rotate the pup 180 degress and then wire it so you get the coil that you want, to be split. In the last 6 months or so, I have helped people out on this forum a few times with custom diagrams that used that method.

I know it might not be a big deal to some, but upside down logos or pickups just might not be the look someone wants. So, I can agree to say 'this is only possible if you flip a magnet or want to flip the whole pickup around.'Administrator of the SDUGF

The neck pickup will be the Screamin Demon
The Bridge Pickup will be the Dimarzio Norton
I hope this helps, it is very nice of you to offer your help in this way. I am not in a big rush because I have several parts I am still waiting to come in for the guitar.
Do either of your two humbuckers have logos on them? Or a cover with a design onnit? If yes, please specify. The reason I ask is that to get the two splitcoil pairs in Positions 2 and 4 to be humcanceling, i could either A) design the diagram to rotate one of the pickups 180 degrees, plus design the wiring connections in a certain way, or B) if the pickup candidate has a logo or design pattern that would make it look odd turned around like that, the diagram could be designed with the intent that you would instead partially disassemble the pickup beforehand, flip the magnet over, and then reassemble the pickup. In followup replies i and other members here could cover HOW to do Option B if that is the one you want. There is a third option, where if you don't care about 60 cycle hum being present in Positons 2 and 4, then we don't have to do anything special at all.
Let me know your thoughts, questions, etc.Last edited by Jack_TriPpEr; 12-09-2020, 09:11 AM.Sanford: "The hardest part about tone chasing is losing the expectations associated with the hardware."

There is a fourth option although it starts deviating from your request where position 2 is one inner and one outer coil and position 4 is the other inner and outer coilw. This does provide hum cancellingLast edited by Jack_TriPpEr; 12-09-2020, 09:09 AM.Sanford: "The hardest part about tone chasing is losing the expectations associated with the hardware."

To me, the neck side coils sound better than the bridge side ones. More output, too.Administrator of the SDUGF

Pickups designed as Neck pickups typically have the South magnetic coil as the outer coil, and that normally drives the need to (one way or the other) get the South coil situated as the Inner coil instead when one wants the Inner and Outer coil pairs to be hum canceling, since the Bridge pickup's Inner coil is typically (and also in this case) magnetic North.Sanford: "The hardest part about tone chasing is losing the expectations associated with the hardware."

Here is the completed diagram. Let me know if you have any questions.
