Pickup building helps

[David Schwab]

no exactly. I am making it for my self build guitar.

So please tell me how should it be wired. If I only use one pickup(this one).

OK how i decide can which wire hot and ground.

The P-94 is a stacked pickup, it has two coils. For a single coil pickup, it doesn't matter which is ground, but often you use the start as ground.

For a stacked pickup, you will know because one way will hum, and the other wont. Stacked pickups are tricky, they sound thin and have lower output.

no it is an p90 type pickup not p94 stacked pickup.

no it is an p90 type pickup not p94 stacked pickup.

Two wires. Either one can be ground.

hey guyz!!

OK. here's is second pickup. I'll mention the apparent glitches, but i dunno if they matter or not.

firstly,
my winding wasn't too good (9300 turns of 41 gauge wire). There was a break once, I solded the wire and spayed lacker. It was a bit loose towards the end.

secondly,
I used 2 magnets are .6 cm x 6 cm x .3 cm. I don't know what type it is. May be ceramic(by appearance).

thirdly,
I didn't used a metal base plate.

I directly this to the connected this thing to the input jack.

I am getting some sort of an output... but definitely not a musical one.... its like saws on metal .... a weird buzzing to be more accurate.....

I also connected this pickup to my PC, to check the input level. When i tap my PC casing. I get a sound. It is amplifying it and very clearly. Just like a drum

its a pretty mean mess-up.... i feel pretty royally fudged! what should i do !!
