I'm aware the brobucker has unmatched bobbin windings. What other SD HBs are? The Seth's must be too right? And the 59?

The '59/Custom Hybrid is the most obvious example. I'm not sure that anything else on the standard production line is deliberately mismatched.Originally posted by LesStratYogi Berra was correct.Originally posted by JOLLYI do a few chord things, some crappy lead stuff, and then some rhythm stuff.

The P-Rail & Hybrid are the ones off the top of my head. There has been lots of talk on this forum about creating your own Hybrids, but it doesn't seem to be a thing that SD concentrates on. They tend to stick with more vintage-inspired designs. Symmetrical coils have the best hum-reduction, though.Administrator of the SDUGF

IMO, there are two completely different things here.
1. Mismatched in the sense that you have the same gauge, same winding pattern, but a “slightly” to “substantial” mismatch on each bobbin.
2. Mismatched like the C/59 hybrid where the gauges are different, DCR and inductance are different, etc.
I remember Dimarzio having a patent on twin resonance technology or something. Which scenario does that apply to above and is it still in place?

"Airy" doesn't mean much, on an objective level, so its use doesn't have much bearing on the facts of the matter. With the level of mismatch that you see in Burstbuckers (and most other humbuckers), you get slight accentuations of certain frequencies, and slight attenuations of others. But again, these mismatches are common on almost all humbuckers, and almost always random, not "tuned" by design.
DiMarzio does indeed "tune" their coils differently sometimes, to have deliberate frequency effects, on at least a few of their humbuckers. But with Duncan and Gibson, it's almost always random.Originally posted by LesStratYogi Berra was correct.Originally posted by JOLLYI do a few chord things, some crappy lead stuff, and then some rhythm stuff.

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.
