What went wrong

Posted by TruckDrivingFool on February 17, 2013 at 11:25pm

I wound two coils for a humbucker before they coils were put into the PUP they measured 4.6&4.3k Ohm. Installed the PUP sounds weak so I remeasured and now I get 4k and .6k. This can't be normal what could be going on?

    You have both coils going same direction? (Clockwise). Start wires soldered together?

      Thanks for the reply HotBox, I've been meaning to get back to this, I ended up just rewinding the coil and that fixed the problem. I'm currently working on finishing the mount and guitar for it but with my basic bench tests I'm very hopeful for the sound.
