Bought Wilkinson Low Gauss Hot Rail Ceramic Single Coil Sized Humbucker Pickups. Wire color diagram included with them is attached. Read a review that said it was wrong. Checked the wires myself with a MM, and sure enough it's wrong. (used ohm setting to determine coil wire pairs, and voltage setting to determine magnet polarity of each coil. I found the following:
North Pole: Black +
White -
South Pole: Red +
Yellow -
Since I am planning on using push/pull pots for a variety of wiring options, I really need to know with certainty the correct wiring of these pickups.Particularly the coil winding direction, since that may change the wiring polarity (if I'm not mistaken - novice at this stuff).
Is there a way to, with certainty, determine the actual wiring polarity, start finish, coil winding direction, etc? I emailed Musiclily (Wilkinson retailer) - waiting for response.
