Re: Muahahahahaha (NPD - A8 59)
Well, that CS '59b is around 4/5% overwound. (11,500 turns)
Comparing it with a stock one, this one's going to sound definitely darker, and on steroids rage, if you ask me.
I'm not sure if it'll keep the PAF vibe, though. If it's difficult to hear it on a A8 59b, I don't think it will on the CS... but it's not that important, as the "normal" one sounds magnificent anyway!

Re: Muahahahahaha (NPD - A8 59)
my 59BJ is 8.419k
LtKojak, the posted spec on the Duncan company site is 8.2 for the production models. back in 1999 the Duncan company site showed 7.43k for neck and 8.13k for bridge, which appears to still be the case on the tone chart (i.e. "pickup comparison chart"). do you think MJ likes to crank up the juice on the ones she makes?

Which is consistent with nominal standard of AWG#42, ohms-per-foot PE wire, DC reading of 10,000 turns on the neck model and 11,000 turns on the bridge model.

Re: Muahahahahaha (NPD - A8 59)
OTOH, OP's p'up is a CS order; I'm sure the extra turns were asked for.
That's most probably due to a slightly thinner wire; I don't think they've put more wire in it just because "they felt like it", LOL!

Re: Muahahahahaha (NPD - A8 59)
yet my 8.419k 59JB is not CS.
I think MJ just winds them hot, like she makes her tamales.

didn't want to keep them frozen and didn't want them to go bad, so they were every meal for a few days straight. :notworthy

Man, do I suck at writing sometimes...
Never said it was, on the contrary, I was speculating about thinner-than-average wire to have that high DC reading.

Re: Muahahahahaha (NPD - A8 59)
think anyone is going to get fussy about the "wire insulation/gauge" issue being brought up again.

Re: Muahahahahaha (NPD - A8 59)
Wanted to mention that I did not request a special wind on this, just the standard 59b but with an a8. So maybe this one just came out a little hot. Lt Kojak if that darkens it up a little I think that will be OK for me as I tend to like a little high end rolled off.
