    No matter how many poles there are, there is just one wire that is wrapped around all of them. Since it is just one wire, there will always be two ends (connections). Connect the + to the tip lug and the - to the ground lug. Just like a piezo.

    Hey your profile picture is the"Queen B 005" from "Humidors" did you made it or just took the pictures ??

    Thx , but it must be ( i didn't receive it ), but i translate directly from the french, and it doesn't work like that at all !!! anyway!!

    Am i right, is it really like i said, like a piezo!!?? with or whithout potentiometer ?? It's because of  the "4 pole"!!, i imagine 4 conection at the coil bottom, or 4 cable!!

    Because i tried to replace a humbucker from my "Gretsch" and put myself in a deepshit!! but i was much younger!! and it must be easier for a CigarBox!!

    So again, am i right !!!

    If you check the wiring and electronics group here, there is a thread with a whole bunch of wiring diagrams in it.
