Seymour Duncan Question

[dewey finn]

I have an old Seymour Duncan single coil with a white lead and a black lead. Does anyone know which wire is positive and which is ground?

It would work either way. If it's out of phase in the combined position, switch the wires. What other brand pickups are you planning on using it with?

Running it in the neck position with a Pearly Gates at the bridge on a Strat style guitar.

Seymour Duncan has a bunch of wiring diagrams here:

The simplest one that just shows one singlecoil shows that black should go to ground and white should go to hot.

Since the other pickup is a Duncan, that's the way to go.

Thanks! Sice it was a Strat style guitar I wanted to be 100% sure so I didn't waste a set of strings rewiring it if I set it up out of phase. I couldn't find those diagrams this morning.
