Beginner Pickup Wiring

I am beginner, I have evolution/emg etc.
I can find how to wire them online.

I have alot of humbuckers that just have two wires, though.
Are most of these just prewired, like it just has a hot wire?

first act and some humbuckers. like a single coil?

um, like the bare wire is the ground wire and the white wire (with covering) is the hot wire?

You got it. On 2 wire humbuckers, one wire is hot, the other is ground.
 
Re: Beginner Pickup Wiring

What is 'missing' is the 2 wires you usually just connect together and tape off. This is the 'series connection'. This is now inside the pickup. The other thing is the chassis ground and the coil ground are combined.
