NILEPPEZ Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Hi, I have a guitar with two 1 wire humbuckers. Would it be possible to convert them to 4 wires (for coil splitting, etc) or should I just forget it?. Thanks for ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 It can be done, but it's not for the faint of heart. it involves taking the pickup apart an attaching wires to the beginning and end windings of each coil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbkim Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Ah, I was researching the same thing. You might want to read this. Search down the page for "4 conductor" and the question after that: "How do I tell which is the beginning and end of the wire on a bobbin?" Also at that website is a section on winding with pics of repairs, page 9 could be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
