Direction of Humbuckers

[DvE]

Hi all,

I am currently trying to install my new set of aftermath pus.

Since they have screws on both sides from underneath, I dont know the orientation.

Any help in which way I should install them? Does it make a difference?

Thanks for you help.

The bridge pickup should have the cable leaving from the bottom left as you look at the back of the pickup, the neck cable will exit the pickup from the top right. The bridge Aftermath actually features a symmetrical wind so it in fact could go in either way, not sure if the neck model is symmetrical too though.

Enjoy your pickups! :)

Bridge DC14.7K ceramic, neck DC11.5K Alnico - these are symmetrically wound...

Seems like you can really install 'em both in any direction.

with symmetrically wound screw/slug pickups you can hear a difference - not as much as i was hoping though

Ok, I installed the bridge pu in the way the cable fits better, but I am not shure, if I put the neck in the right direction.

Can I use the small holes on the top as orientation? (They are only at one side of the humbucker)

what i basically do is fit it so the wire is coming out at the same place as the pickup cavity is drilled for the wire to leave through.

Always made sense for me to do things this way as it always seems to be the bottom left which always matches up with the pickups

That's what I did, but I don't have a neck pickup so can't comment on that one. But as others have said, they're symmetrically wound, so it *shouldn't* make a difference!
