Humbucker Coil Wiring Question

[Cheezor]

Hello,

I have a newb question. Does anybody know if there is a difference between humbuckers where:

A) Both coils are wound in the same direction and the end of one is connected to the start of the other
or
B) The coils are wound opposite directions of each other and the 2 starts leads are connected to each other


I'm asking because "A" is the way that I thought humbuckers were usually made, but I recently saw a diagram of "B" and am curious what that would change. Does that effectively change nothing?

Thanks!

Hi Cheezor:
Welcome to the forum.
You can follow the Stewmac instructions it is hard to go wrong.
STEWMAC.COM - Humbucker Pickup Kit
Normally both coils are wound the same direction.
Tie the 2 finish leads together, put + output on the slug coil start lead.
Put - Grd on the Screw coil Start lead.
Or you can use 4 wire hookup.
both showed on the chart in the stewmac guide.
If you have wound the 2 coils in different directions, that will work also.
Just tie one start to one finish, and put + & - on the other two leads.
GL,
Terry
