NGD: Gibson Kirk Hammett Les Paul Greeny

[Artie]

Nice. Although, I liked the "Bonamassa" knobs. But matched is sweet too.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I left the neck pickup turned around to pay tribute to greeny but I just don't like out of phase tones and I use the middle position 95% of the time for rhythm so with the Duncan custom/jazz neck set in there this is a very versatile and heavy sounding guitar.

mmh, the orientation doesn't affect the phase, it could affect the sound sometimes however, given the fact the coil with the screws sits In a different location

Most SD pickups are wound with the same wire and resistance on the bobbin on both sides, aren't they? I know that Dimarzio does different winds on quite a few models, so there might be sound differences when flipping them.

Yes. But the amount of metal and the geometry of the magnetic field is slightly different on the slug coil vs. the screw coil, so there ought to be a small difference in how both sound.​

Pretty axe. I dig the darl mahog and especially the dark rosewood.

Would that not cause any issues? I remember I had my 500T's wires wired backwards at some point. It had the phase flipped, but it sounded good... unless I touched something metal. I don't remember if it was when I touched the metal or when I wasn't touching it. But as soon as I reversed the phase, that ground buzz went away. I got that advise from someone in this forum, actually.

If you have 2-conductor and flipped the wires, then you would need to ground the baseplate. If it's 4-conductor, you leave bare to ground and flip the hot/ground wires. Wasn't thinking, I suppose Greeny is 2-conductor, so you'd have to do a little extra work.
