Has anyone ever put a bridge type pickup in the neck upside down? For example, a JB in the neck with the logo upside down. My friend just put a Pearly Gates bridge that came off of my Lone Star Strat in the neck of his LP like this (upside down logo) and he loves it. I've had a JB in the neck of my LP Custom but it's got the adjustable pole pieces toward the bridge so it's technically upside down from a normal neck pu but it sounds great.

Hmmm . . . I'm not sure I'm buying this. Of course, I haven't actually tried it.
It makes sense for the Stag Mag, which has staggered pole pieces, but for a JB? I can't imagine that an offset of 3/4" could make that much difference. At the bridge, maybe, at the neck, hmmm . . .

I have with a Blues Trembucker. Although, I didn't physically turn it around like I had expected to. I didn't really need to. Sounds awesome. Probably one of my favorite neck pickups, even though it's mostly thought of as a bridge pup.Not a 5150 Kramer, but a 5149 1/2 Shamer

I did it with a neck Pearly Gates. I wanted it to sound brighter, so my logic was that if the adjustable screws were closer to the bridge, I could raise them up and increase the brightness more than if they were towards the neck.This machine kills fascists
