How do I wire in my Alchemy humbucker?

​

The Alchemy Pickups 4-conductor wiring code is as follows - South finish (hot) WHITE, South start (series) GREEN, North start (series) RED, North finish (ground) BLACK. All standard Alchemy humbuckers use the slug coil as the South (hot) coil, and the screw coil as the North (ground) coil, including those using vintage braided hookup wire. The bare wire shielding within the 4-conductor wire is always ground.

What do the cover options mean?

​

Uncovered humbucker pickups mean that the bobbins will be showing, and these can be black, ivory or zebra (one black bobbin and one ivory bobbin). Standard cover options for humbuckers and humbucker-sized P90s are; nickel (shiny silver), raw nickel (dull silver), black (black cover, not to be confused with uncovered black bobbins and not available for HSP90s), gold (shiny gold plated with matching gold screws), or hybrid (nickel cover with gold screws). All pickups will be supplied with nickel pole pieces unless otherwise arranged, except in the case of hybrid and gold cover options, where supplied pole pieces will be gold. Black covers can be supplied as either matte black or chrome black covers on request. Hex screws, black screws, blackened nickel screws and various other options are available by custom order - email me at sales@alchemypickups.co.uk or contact me through the contact from to request more information and/or arrange a purchase with custom screw and cover options.

Left-Handed Pickups?

​

​

With the exception of the 'Astral' vintage Stratocaster pickup set, all of my pickups are ambidextrous, symmetrical and can be oriented either way. All scratchplates can be ordered left-handed - as everything is handmade to order, feel free to contact me before/after making a purchase to guarantee suitability for a left-handed guitar!
