This is a quad "hot rail" style twin coil humbucker pickup with 4 wires and is mounted in a black plastic pickup ring.
The pickup has four pole pieces and is fully shielded for low noise and wired for hum cancelling
.
This pickup has high output power.
The individual coil resistance is approximately 7.4 kOhms and the serial resistance of the coils is 14.8 kOhms (combined impedance is 8.5H).
The cavity in the guitar body would need to be cut to at least 86x39mm.
The two humbucker fixing screws are 78mm apart.
The plastic surround measures 92x46mm and the 4 fixing screw holes are 38mm and 84mm apart.
4 chrome fixing screws will be supplied.
The coils are terminated in solder spots underneath the pickup to which the wiring cable is soldered.
4 cores and a cable screen are available for wiring.
For standard configuration the black wire (attached to the screen) is
the common or ground and the green wire is the live which connects to the volume pot.
The red and white wires are soldered together and connect the two coils to achieve the humbucking action.
If required you can separate the white and red wires and use the two coils in any configuration
for more complicated coil tap wiring arrangements.
This pickup is supplied with a black flat backed pickup ring, however we can replace it with a white flat back ring,
a white curved back ring, a black curved back ring or a cream curved back ring.
Please let us know when you make your purchase if you want an alternative pickup ring option otherwise we will send the black flat ring.
The pickup dimensions are shown below.
