Double screw '59 hybrid

[metalchurch79]

Has anyone on here (I'm sure), ever made a hybrid of a '59 utilizing both of the adjustable poles on the same pickup?
I'm kinda wanting to give this a shot, but I thought I'd do some homework and get some insight on this from some of the modders on here.

I'm extremely interested in hearing about this as well as what all different magnets were tried in the process and perhaps your opinions on each variation.

(I'll most likely do the mod myself, unless perhaps someone has one that they aren't using, then I'd consider just grabbing that up)

Thanks much

I can't imagine that there would be enough difference to make it worth while doing it.

I have to say that I wanted to "clean up" the question of how the different polepiece styles sound individually by making double-screw, double-slug, double-hex and double-everything-else and record them.

Real life interfered. The fact of the matter is that PAF-style one-slug, one-screw seems to be really awesome in a whole range of pickups from a PAF to the DD so it didn't seem like the most urgent thing to test.

Jeremy pretty much summed it up. Using hex screws like a Demon or experimenting with different adjustments can make some cool sounds that you can't get out of a standard pickup. Also, stud coils tend to be more midrangey.

Well the hex poles are a major change. It's just (regular) screws and slugs that don't seem to be that different.
