So, with a humbucker with very unbalanced coils, where one has way more turns that the other, turning it upside down (ala greeny) affects the tone, or it stills works as a single unit no matter what? What's the theory?

Well, I've just bought online a pair of Fralin Unbuckers and have asked the guy in the shop to tell me their resistance. The readings are 6.8k and 7.4K when they're supposed to measure 7.5K and 8.5K... I think this is too much difference! Should I trust this readings? Any experience out there...

I have a pair of 59's in my les paul, wired for humbucker/single tones. They sound great but I would like less volume drop when splitting. I wonder if Burstbuckers would be a better choice for the matter since they are unbalanced. I so, which coil of is the stronger? I think I don't want Stag...

I'm interested in a 59 pickup, but with quite unbalanced coils for better splitting performance. Zebras. Anyone knows if SD accepts this kind of order? Any ideas about price, wait... and way to contact them? Thanks

... tonewise. The reason is that I want to cover the neck and leave uncovered the bridge for aesthetics. If both were coverd I wouldn't mind to turn the amp treble a bit, but that's not the case, and i want to keep the balance between them. They're a couple of duncans and, if I remember well...

I've always heard that parallel sound are louder than split ones, but in this forum I've read just the opposite... I've come to the conclusion that one or other works better depending on the pickups, so what would better with a pair of duncan 59's in the 8k range? Drop volume concerns me more...
