  • This is a demo of Series, Single Coil and Parallel wiring configurations for guitar pickups. It has both a tutorial on what pickups are and how they're wired, then goes into a whole bunch of sound samples through assorted guitar pedals in varying degrees of gain to show the series, parallel and single coil wiring sounds in each.

    Wish all You Tube videos were this clear and concise.

    Thank you for making a useful video on this subject. Thank you for playing chords. Thanks you for not shredding at me.

    Of all the billions of videos i've seen here, this is one of the best...! Thank you for showing the difference in sound in so many way (with no talk or other delay in between so you forget what the previous sound sounded like!)
    Thanks a ton!!

    This is a REALLY thorough explanation and one of the most informative and true demonstrations I've seen. Great job!!

    Dude, I must say, excellent video! I have searched pretty hard for a well-explained video and this is the most thoroughly explained video on pickups I have every seen. Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about the length at first, since most videos that are "informative" in nature waste a lot of time getting to the point... But you! Man, right to the point with no time wasted! Not to mention the fact that you made it so easy to understand AND very informative!
    I truly thank you.

    NOW I get it! Thank you for this clear explanation with graphics. Great tone demo so I could really hear the differences.

    Thank you for this. Extremely helpful. I was considering doing a series/parallel switch for the hum cancellation benefits. After listening to these demos, I feel it's coil tap all the way!

    I really like all the different tone choices. I'm currently building my dream guitar...in my head, not in the workshop yet. I've decided on the body, neck, pickgaurd, etc., but not the pickups. I like your set up. You basically get a bunch of guitars in one! That may be the way I'll go. I want it to be my perfect guitar too! Thanks for the video and all the tips on wiring!👍😎🎸🎶

    I surprisingly like the parallel humbuckers more than the regular series. So I'm gonna try to make all the pickups parallel. Thanks so much for the clear and concise video btw. I wish all youtube guitar videos were like yours! This video made me subscribe and listen to your songs.

    Hey, I'm from brazil. This is the best demo video! Thanks!

    This is the kind of thing I've been looking for. I'm making an electric baritone uke (yeah I'm bad with naming stuff), and I was thinking of a p-bass pickup which are 2 single coil mics wired in series. Really helped to hear the differences. Thank you!

    Simple but straight to the point, great stuff.

    Thanks! The "always on" switch engages the bridge humbucker at any time and allows you to use both the neck + bridge OR all 3 pickups at once. It's just a matter of where the 5 way switch is set.

    Thanks! Glad I could help bring some clarity. As far as wiring 2 singles in series like that, it probably won’t sound exactly like a normal humbucker in series, but it will definitely sound much more compressed and closer to a humbucker than the two pickups together in the normal parallel setup.

    Awesome this, i found your blog and wiring diagram online and did a similar mod with three hot rail mini humbuckers with three toggle switches, so just wanted to say thanks! 🙂
