This video demonstrates how to check the magnetic polarity of single-coil pickups, as well as the differences between steel-pole and alnico-pole designs. Importantly, there is a blurb added to the end of the video clearing up a misunderstanding I had when I created the video, including information regarding the polarity discrepancy between Seymour Duncan and Fender pickups. This has been a learning process for me and I'd like to share what I have learned to others.
