Guitar Pickup Wiring: Phase, Series, and Parallel Humbucker Soup. Most humbucker pickups are wired using Series wiring (Fig 3). Fig 3. Parallel Wiring. Parallel wiring refers to the way the coils are wired to the Output Jack. With Parallel wiring, both pickups are wired directly to the Output Jack in the same way. This approach to guitar pickup wiring results in a BLEND of the two coils with no significant volume boost. Most Five-Way Switches use Parallel wiring in the two and four positions to combine pickups (Fig 4). Fig 4
If you are familiar with Peter Green, his signature tone was achieved with the type of wiring job that I'm talking about. When it's done correctly, when both pickups are on and at full volume, the pickups are in phase. When you turn down the volume on one or the other, the move further and further out of phase.
