Magnet Polarity Tester

Pickup rewinding specialist J.M. Rolph has noted, "How many times have you wired a pickup and found it's magnetically out of phase, with the same thin, low-powered sound as a pickup that's wired out of phase, even though the lead wires looked right?" By indicating the north or south magnetic orientation of a pickup's polepieces, this polarity tester can help you avoid the problem.

Refined by Les Schatten especially for guitar shops, the tester is economical and easy to use. Coupled with a basic knowledge of vintage pickup magnet polarities (instructions are included), it can also be a quick way to determine a pickup's authenticity.

What is this pickup?

You know the brand, you know the DC Ohms resistance, but do you know whether the pickup is north or south. This will tell you quickly. No more installing to find that one or more is out of phase.
