i seriously wanna get this humbucker from someone for my bridge but he said it's a neck humbucker. i don't know the difference. care to share?

What's the pickup configuration like on your guitar?

 

[RyanZ]

Hi, the difference between neck and bridge is the resistance values. Yup. I got it at Davis.

Hi, my configuration is H-S-H. Please recommend. Thanks.

 

[Jugman]

so there's actually no difference in the tone and sound?

 

[Jugman]

Yes, there is a difference between the tone. You can hear the tones in SD website. You wanna get the pups also?

 

[Jugman]

yea i'm getting a duncan distortion sh-6 from someone to put it one my bridge. he said he got a neck one so i just wanna know what the differences will be

heh, even if swap the bridge and neck pickup position, both wont sound as big different to totally altering the sound..

the position of the pickup on the body itself in relation to the strings tension over it is one of the main factor which give us the bridge and neck sound...

some people interchange and and like bridge pickup in neck position and vice versa.

 

[Jugman]

so the neck pickup CAN be placed at the bridge.. ok man. thanks for the info

For a HSH guitar, the most useful wiring would be splitting the humbuckers in positions 2 and 4. Most Ibanez HSH guitars are wired that way. Strat-like tones in the 2 and 4 positions. However, for hum cancelling with the middle pickup, you'll have to know the polarity of the stock pickups.

Bro, so I wire my new humbucker the same way Ibanez wired the stock ones? Good enough?
