  2. Four Wire Humbucker

    in Electronics Chat

    Posted

    Hi everyone, I'm new to both guitar building and forums.

    I have a dimarzio humbucker that i have taken out of a guitar. I think it's a Q100 but I am not sure.

    I've read that single wire humbuckers have a braided cable, where the braid is ground and the centre wire is the output. I also read that four wire humbuckers have the ground as one of the wires. However, this pickup has four wires plus a braid aswell.

    Is the braid in this case just for shielding? If not, then what does it do?

    Many thanks in advance.
