I’ve got a question for everyone out there-just because I like to know how things work. In order for a hum-canceling pickup to work you have to have reverse wound, reverse polarity right? On a humbucker this is possible because there is one magnet between the poles which causes the magnet to be north on one side and south on the other, and then they just reverse the leads on one of the bobbins to make it reverse wound right?
So-on a P90 hum canceling pickup (like a P100 or Duncan P90 Stack), I can see how the reverse wound coil could be on the top or bottom and the regular wound coil could be on the other, but, how would they get their reverse polarity to make the pickup hum canceling? Then they run the coils in parallel (not series like a traditional humbucker) to get more of the single coil like tone right?
