SH-1 '59 - help needed

[swisher]

Hi!
I've got SH-1 '59 neck pickup but some time ago I removed metal frame and I forgot which wire is which.

Here is the photo:

Could anyone help? The question is - which wire is ground and which is 'hot'? I wrote to SD helpdesk but they said they can't help me... BUT if I'll send pickup to them they did it without any problems

If you look at Duncan’s humbucker color code chart, the slug coil is the hot, and the screw coil is ground.

And it doens't matter is it bridge or neck pickup? Screw coil is always ground?

No.

Screw coil is always ground?

In the case of a Seymour Duncan p'up, yes.
