Track down the book"Guitar electronics for musicians". I did just what you want to do and more when I was 15 (with radioshack kit wires and sellotape on a knackered Encore) with that book. Don't think you need to flip the magnet btw.

Re MagnetThis is what I think - surely just swapping the wires would achieve the same thing? I just spotted a comment on one LP forum which said it would give you a thin, nasal tone rather than the hollow, woody tone I was after...but as long as I don't short the pickup, I can't see how swapping the wires round is different (electronically) to flipping the magnet.
That book looks incredibly useful btw

Yeah, that was my thinkingDon't think positive/negative ends of a magnet have any effect on tone, just the relationship with other magnets and whether wired in series/parallel etc.
