Two single coils changed to 1-Humbucker

[GaryT]

A Humbucker is two single - coils wired in series. Therfore to take the neg-lead of one single coils and conect it to the positive lead of the othe single coil. Then wire the the remaining Pos and Neg lead as you would wire your 2-lead SC or humbucker. Would in effect give you a humbucker wired together with the two single coils.......Correct?

This is what the Fender S-1 switching does, change the pickups from parallel to series. It kinda sounds humbucker-ish.

If I remember right, that sounds alot like how the Kent Armstrong Motherbucker is wired to get 27k out of it. Black to white/white to black, the rest wired normally.

I put one in a Schecter Tempest I had and was totally confused on how to get the full 27k until I called them.

I'm pretty sure that is the basic concept on the Lace Sensor Dually I have picking around in my parts box.

You'd get two singles in series which will sound something like an HB, except the tone difference caused by magnetic polepieces. However it will have twice the hum if one of the pickups isn't RWRP.

Two single coils wired in series are not necessarily hum canceling though.

+1 for Mike Lee.

I'm following you know my brothers. I think I have the concept down now. I have a few reverse hanging arouns also. I re-post after I play around in the lab for a bit.

I have a P-90 and it came out pretty decent. I would use it for sure. But these humbuclers been giving me a "hard" tim.

The reverse with one coil was part of it for sure.

Thanks Bro's
