Experiment with 44 gauge polysol - cheers Tim

And Tim did me the nicest set of  Reverse Zebra Coils I have yet seen

Hi Jonathan, I thought the BKP reverse had black stud/cream screws?  I know SD do it the other way.

I thought that too - they do things different in Devon you see......

Phil you are right - BKP have done it the other way round and the reason for that is simple - it was the way that Gibson did it .
So BKP had the colours the correct way but Tim is pondering changing the designation the other way around - much to his dislike simply because players are so used to the "wrong way" that Duncan and Dimarzio have always done it that they end up ordering the wrong way round because of what they are used to.

I totally understand his frustration as his way was historically correct, but people are so used to the wrong way round that it is almost easier to follow that convention

Any- I just love how these pickups look and sound.
I still love the Cold Sweats and the "Distortion" but am just having fun with the Mules.
It's as good as they sounded in he Explorer I made Tim- that was fun to play!!

Check out the online store, that has examples of what is zebra and reverse zebra, so there won't be any more confusion.

Sometimes holding back the tide is too much hard work :lol: and you have to fall in line. The SD colour code is so widely used that I'd really be facing an uphill struggle trying to get everyone to think the other way round. the positive thing is we can and do offer both types of zebra as well as double cream and double white too.

About the polysol, Tim, do you think it's the quality of the wire itself or perhaps the thickness of the insulation that produces the tonal differences, or is it the dielectric properties of the polysol?
