humbucker in series question

[tapslore]

Question to the soldering masters:

When in series, and as long a polarity is followed, are the coils of a humbucker interchangeable?

Ex. for Dimarzio's, which have NORTH COIL (red +, black -) and SOUTH COIL (white +, green -):
instead of RED as hot lead, solder BLACK + WHITE, GREEN to ground to wire in series,
can it be WHITE as hot lead, solder GREEN + RED, then BLACK to ground?

Trying to figure out wiring with a superswitch. Thanks.

Sure. The pickup will work the same way. Except... If you wire the ground switch to the junction of the coils, this time the other coil gets shunted. So if you wanted the slug side active instead of the screw coil side, and vise versa, this would be the way to do it.

Current still flows from negative to positive, and you maintain the same polarity so yeah, the humbucker should work the same on its own.

Awesome, thanks!
