Humbucker Newbie Question

[fletch]

Hi Pickup Guru's,

I need some advise please -

I have wound 2 humbuckers for my new guitar. I usually follow the Seymour Duncan color codes as follows -

Slug Bobbin - Start BLACK / Finish WHITE
Screw Bobbin - Start GREEN / Finish RED

My neck pickup is wired as above but I accidentally mixed up the bobbins and wound my bridge pickup as follows

Slug Bobbin - Start GREEN / Finish RED
Screw Bobbin - Start BLACK / Finish RED

Both pickups now have the Red & White leads soldered together. I get correct readings for both pickups except
obviously, my bridge pickup now has the green and black wires mixed up.

What allowances do I need to make now when I go to wire them up ? Is it simply a matter of just soldering the green in place of black and visa-versa ?

I have no plans to do any coil tapping, I will just be using a standard 1 VOLUME, 1 TONE and a 3 way Toggle switch.

Thanks

Pickup Newbie..

If wiring the finishes together is correct for the neck pickup, it would also be right for the bridge pickup.

So your finish wires go soldered together anyway,& if you only mixed up the green & black
Solder the black with the bare wire to the ground & the green to the hot
