Schematics

It’s been 11 years since a person on this page requested a schematic. Maybe it’s time to find a freely licensed one or make one? Gutten på Hemsen (talk) 16:14, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great idea, please go ahead and do that. 2001:9E8:4609:FC00:64D9:3F2C:2A:AF4F (talk) 19:56, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

'Stacked Coils' Section

This section, as currently written, has a major tone shift. The preceeding and following sections have reasonable comparisons and examples of humbucker construction; but this section resolves to insult the construction method and the many pickup makers that have used it, calling them "crude stacks."

I think a section on a stacked-coil humbucker is well-deserved -- it's one of the oldest pickup designs and still an extremely common and pervasive one -- but what we've got here is super inadequate. It pushes aside simple comparison in order to go on what appears to be a bad-faith screed. Cassie is Asleep (talk) 07:51, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Update -- This was vandalism. Found a revision on 9th January 2022 that did all of this. Undone. Cassie is Asleep (talk) 08:07, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Misunderstanding about noise cancellation

In the "function" section, we can read that the noise is canceled thanks to phase shift. From what I've read elsewhere about humbuckers, its seems to be rather a phase inversion (caused by the second coil being wound in the opposite direction), different from phase shift that could'nt cancel all the possible hum frequencies.

Can anyone confirm ? S0ngxist0 (talk) 01:02, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
