Hi people I'm brand new to this board . This is the guitar in question Im fiercely Scottish and also an ancient old fart who play's blues and rock mostly and Ive decided to rewire my beast . My question is The circuit says North start , North finish . I presume this means the Start wire is the Plus wire . I'm wiring up two humbuckers to a two vol one tone with series/split/parallel switch for each pickup and a master series/parallel and and a phase for the neck and bridge . The Guitar is a left handed solid body LP style which I made meself .The pickups are Warmans , 12 gauge at the neck and a Destroyer at the Bridge . . OK So thats the question . Is the Start wire the plus wire ?

Hi people I'm brand new to this board . Welcome aboard. Glad you chose to join us! Is the Start wire the plus wire ? The answer to that question is the same as the answer to: "What should I wear to my urologist appointment for my bladder control problem?" Depends. In the case of a pickup, it depends on which direction the coil is wound and which magnetic polarity. Most HB pickups have both coils wound clockwise. The screw coil has magnetic polarity of 'south up'; the slug coil is 'North up". (Up = closest to strings) So ... The 'start' wire of the slug (north) coil of a HB is most likely the 'plus wire' and the 'finish' wire of the screw (south) coil of a HB is most likely the 'plus wire'. But ... Neither of your pickups have the usual slug and screw coils. However, Warman does have some information on the wiring of their pickups. 12-Gauge: www.warmanguitars.co.uk/downloads/Warman-12-Gauge.pdfDominator: www.warmanguitars.co.uk/downloads/Warman-Dominator.pdf

Right thanks for that .Warman have assured me the Destroyer is the same wiring as the 12 gauge So I'm going to presume the start is the positive and go from there . Cheers

Your presumption is likely to result in your wiring for the north coils being correct and your wiring for the south coils being backward.
