Would 12 hex screws have any difference in tone than 12 blade head screws?

Re: Hex screws?
I was asking because I was gonna "try out" a Dirty Fingers by replacing my Invader's oxide caps, but the only thing I have laying around is hex screws. I guess it won't be a good comparison, but might be cool anyway

Re: Hex screws?
Yes, and No.
Its more a matter of what the screws are made of more than anything else. All screws are normally made of an alloy. So its just a matter of what different metals are used in the alloy. Cause the magnetic field isn't really that much different. Ed

Re: Hex screws?
I just swapped the oxide caps out for hex screws.... and now the oxide caps are right back in. Perhaps 10 minutes wasn't enough of a chance, but my gut said, "this sounds like sh!t" and I've learned to trust it in these matters

Re: Hex screws?
All polepieces are made of a magnetic material by all manufactirers, otherwise they´d be useless. Classic single coils or "stag mag" style pups are the exception, here the poles ARE the magnets.
And as we know from physics 101, a magnetizable piece placed into contact with a magnet "extends" or "directs" the magnetic field. Both shape and material are crucial to the way it gets spread around the strings, and with what strength in what area. And therefore crucial to the tone
Otherwise, a dirty fingers and an invader with poles made from the same material would sound identical, but they don´t (tried it a long time ago)
