Pick Up Color Code

[Aharon]

I could not find anything on HBs with 4 wires plus ground shield.

There's one catch,the colors are two red/two black plus shield on each one.

Am I correct to assume that series would be black/red together and the remaining red is hot and the shields + remaining black to ground?.

Thanks for any info

Can you post the type it is, or is it a nameless one that came with the guitar? I can post lists of the color coding for many companies, but need specifics.

otherwise, you can set up the strings and test what is what.

Here are the standard codes for most brand names.

I guess there are lots of oddball pickups out there and you will have to figure things out and experiment with a multimeter.

Ok measured each side,6.5k.

In series double that.

The colors are red and white,sorry about the mistake.

I did the screwdriver test and they seem to be out of phase with each other which is the way it should be right?

So red/white taped together and the other two are hot and ground(plus shield).

Did I get it right?

Thanks
