  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Patented Electric Guitar Pickups and the Creation of Modern Music Genres
    2016] 1007 PATENTED ELECTRIC GUITAR PICKUPS AND THE CREATION OF MODERN MUSIC GENRES Sean M. O’Connor* INTRODUCTION The electric guitar is iconic for rock and roll music. And yet, it also played a defining role in the development of many other twentieth-century musical genres. Jump bands, electric blues and country, rockabilly, pop, and, later, soul, funk, rhythm and blues (“R&B”), and fusion, all were cen- tered in many ways around the distinctive, constantly evolving sound of the electric guitar. Add in the electric bass, which operated with an amplifica- tion model similar to that of the electric guitar, and these two new instru- ments created the tonal and stylistic backbone of the vast majority of twen- tieth-century popular music.1 At the heart of why the electric guitar sounds so different from an acoustic guitar (even when amplified by a microphone) is the “pickup”: a curious bit of very early twentieth-century electromagnetic technology.2 Rather than relying on mechanical vibrations in a wire coil to create an analogous (“analog”) electrical energy wave as employed by the micro- phone, “pickups” used nonmechanical “induction” of fluctuating current in a wire coil resulting from the vibration of a metallic object in the coil’s magnetized field.3 This faint, induced electrical signal could then be sent to an amplifier that would turn it into a much more powerful signal: one that could, for example, drive a loudspeaker. For readers unfamiliar with elec- tromagnetic principles, these concepts will be explained further in Part I below. * Boeing International Professor and Chair, Center for Advanced Studies and Research on Inno- vation Policy (CASRIP), University of Washington School of Law (Seattle); Senior Scholar, Center for the Protection of Intellectual Property (CPIP), George Mason University School of Law.

  • TZ Fender Humbucker Pt 1
    "Wide-Range"!? A discussion of the Fender Humbucking Pickup Original, Clones & Competition Tilmann Zwicker GITEC (https://www.gitec-forum-eng.de) Part 1 History, Build and Measurements: Original CuNiFe & Reissues 1 Preface by the author: For quite a while, the Fender Humbucking pickup was kind of a mystery to me. I was aware that Fender made some guitars sporting that device (Starcaster, Telecaster Deluxe, Telecaster Custom, and the 2nd version of the Telecaster Thinline - and the 2nd version of the Telecaster Bass) but no one in my circles played anything like that. I remember playing a jam session (maybe 1975) where the other two guitarists incidentally both played Telecaster Customs (one of them heavily modded with a third Fender Humbucker - quite a feat for the time), but since I was totally nervous (being the junior amongst what I considered much more serious and accomplished musicians) I never paid much attention to whether they got a particular sound. I think I did asked one of the guys and got a response along the lines of "yeah we play these pickups 'cause the give more output but retain more of that Fender sound". Anyway, that was my one and only encounter with the Fender Humbucker for a long time. In the mid 1980's I could finally afford to keep more than just that one main guitar, and with a Les Paul and an ES-335 already at home, I decided that I should finally branch out into the world of Fenders, as well. In a strange coincidence, I found 2 Telecasters within a few days in the want ads in Munich (not a regular occurrence back then): a Vintage Reissue Tele (the first kind they made in the 1980's), and a 1973 Thinline ..
