ABOUT SPECIFIC HUMBUCKING PICKUPS:We’ll start with looking at a Gibson pickup’s color code.. Notice that the way Gibsonwires their pickups, the SCREW coil is “first” – the screw coil’s negative lead isconnected to ground. This means that you must run the coil-shunt jumper to the hot sideof the pickup’s output to keep the screw coil active.On DiMarzio pickups, it's actually a bit easier to wire the coil-shunt jumper - because ifyou follow the factory specs, the SLUG coil is first, connected to ground. If you switchthe shunt jumper to ground, it shunts the slug coil, leaving the screw (second) coil active,which is typically what you want.
