Hi, I am trying to sort out two new pickups that I bought on Ebay for my Danelectro. I want to do a DC-59 Jimmy Page guitar and would like to get hum canceling from the switch position that has both pickups on. I started testing the pickups and found that the magnets were oriented the same way. I took the pickup apart and flipped the magnet and coil ( without disturbing much ) so that when back in the lipstick case the two pickups are reverse polarity.
My question is how to check for reverse wind?? If I am correct, in order to get hum canceling I will need for the pickups to be reverse wind and reverse polarity? I did do a phase test using my meter and found that the pickups are in phase ( taking the black wire in each pickup to ground)
Any help on this much appreciated

Hi Angelo, Here's some information about humbucking pickups from my website: If you want to see the full article, it is here: www.1728.com/guitar1a.htm

Thanks Wolf, so what matters is that the magnets are set to attract each other, and the wiring is such that the electrons travel in reverse direction. A wind is a wind, its the hookup that dictates the direction or flow.
