    The quick tips series consists of short videos on a guitar or amplifier repair or maintenance topic. In this episode, I demonstrate how to test a set of mismatched pickups for phase compatibility and magnetic polarity.

    Thank you so much for explaining this. I could never get my head around on how to know which is the hot wire and which is the ground wire. You’ve explained it perfectly 👏👏👏👏👏

    Nice video. I have a question though. Why is the middle pickup reversed magnetic polarity?

      For noise cancellation, when used with one of the pickups next to it.

      Thank you for the great vid and I will check out your other vids...!

    To do a voltage polarity test you need to set the DMM on DC voltage, not resistance. You are not measuring correctly.
