→Stacked Humbuckers
===Stacked Humbuckers===
Also, appearances can be decieving. Most humbuckers have two clearly visible coils or are cased but clearly wider than a single-coil. However, some pickups look nearly identical to single coils but are actually humbuckers. The two coils are stacked on top of each other, creating the appearance of a single coil. Many times the goal is to get hum-canceling, not the more nasal and higher output humbucker tone; so they are wired in parallel. Yet, this is not always the case, and you have to be careful when selecting your pickups and/or wiring them, depending on what you want.
