5.2 Humbuckers
5.2 Humbucker 5-9 5.2 Humbuckers The interference occurring with single-coil pickups motivated the development of the Humbucker. Single-coil pickups do not only pickup the vibration of the strings and generate a corresponding electric voltage, but they are also sensitive to magnetic fields as they are radiated by transformers, fluorescent lamps, or mains cables. Instead of having one coil, the "Hum-Bucker" consists of two coils connected to form a dipole and wired such that they are out of phase. The magnetic field generated by external interference sources induces in each coil the same voltage. Because of the anti-phase connection of the two coils the voltages cancel each other out. If the field generated by the permanent magnet would also flow through both coils with the same polarity, the signals generated by the vibrating string also be cancelled – this of course must not happen. For this reason the permanent field flows through the two coils in an anti-parallel manner such that the voltages induced by the vibrating strings are out of phase. Because the coils are connected out of phase, the voltages are turned twice by 180° i.e. they are again in phase (180° +180° = 360° corresp. to 0°). With this arrangement the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved somewhat compared to single-coil pickups (chapter 5.7). As early as the 1930s designers sought to develop a marketable pickup based on compensation principles which were generally already known. Seth Lover, technician with the guitar manufacturer Gibson, achieved the commercial break-through. -

The Fender Custom Shop and “Blackie” Your Questions Answered…
The Fender Custom Shop and “Blackie” Your questions answered… A few days before the launch of the Fender Eric Clapton “Blackie” Reissue, Mike Eldred – Director of Sales and Marketing for the Fender Custom Shop, was interviewed by Guitar Center for his personal account of the “Blackie” Reissue project. GC: So Mike, what’s your role at Fender, and in the Custom Shop specifically? Mike: I’m Director of Sales and Marketing for the FMIC Custom Division, and that encompasses all brands: Tacoma, Guild, Gretsch, Fender, Charvel, Jackson, and the amplifiers. GC: What is it about “Blackie” that makes it so special, even within that special world? Mike: It’s an iconic Stratocaster. The story about the guitar is really such a great story about how Eric bought the guitar--bought several guitars--and then pieced together basically just one guitar from a bunch of different parts. So he actually built the guitar, which is very unique when it comes to iconic guitars like this. A lot of times they’re just bought at a store or something like that. But here, an artist actually built the guitar, and then used it on so many different recordings, and it was so identified with Eric Clapton and his musical legacy. GC: Then, after 35 years of ownership, he offered it up for sale. What did Fender think when they heard that Guitar Center had bought Blackie at auction for almost a million dollars? Mike: Just that we were glad that it was sold to someone we have a relationship with. The concern that we had was that somebody was going to buy it and then just lock it away and that would be that, or some private collector would buy it or something like that. -

Humbucker Wiring 2014 Final A4
HUMBUCKER INSTALLATION GUIDE Thanks for purchasing a Tonerider Humbucker. This guide provides wiring and installation information for all our four-conductor humbuckers. This included Alnico II Classics, Alnico IV Classics, Rocksong, and Generator models We’ve included several common guitar wiring configurations; however if you need any extra information, don't hesitate to contact us. We are musicians at heart and no question is too large or too small. All Tonerider pickups have a lifetime warranty when purchased new. Please see your warranty card for details. POLARITY AND WIRING: NORTH North/Slug Coil Start North/Slug Coil Finish South/Screw Coil Start South/Screw Coil Finish SOUTH THE QUICK GUIDE: * Install with screw coils facing outwards. * Pressing the strings against the high frets, set the pickup heights to 3mm from the strings (neck) and 2mm (bridge). * The RED wire is “hot” and connects to the input lug of the volume pot or switch. * The GREEN wire and SHIELD are “ground” and connect to the back of a grounded pot. * The BLACK & WHITE wires should be soldered together. This is done at our workshop. * Test the guitar through an amplifier and make final adjustments to the height of the pickups. FROM NECK PICKUP 3-WAY TOGGLE SWITCH FROM “HOT”/ BRIDGE PICKUP SIGNAL OUT GROUND Diagram 2 DPDT (on/on) COIL SPLITTING: This wiring option leaves one coil on, making the pickup work like a true single coil. It is a useful modification to increase your tonal options. “Hot” - SPLITTING TO THE SLUG COIL (Diagram 3): This is gives a fuller sound than the screw Diagram 3 coil, especially in the bridge position.
