sorry but i'll be ordering a set of pickups in zebra soon. I know that there's zebra and REVERSE zebra. And i don't know which is the one I want. I want something tt'll give me this colour combination from neck to bridge, creme/black (neck) and (black/creme). so how do I order it? reverse zebra + zebra!?!?! Sorry for such a dumb qns.
 
Re: zebra pickups

which is the screw coil? are they the outer coils? pardon my ignorance but what are the differences between screw coils and pole pieces?
 
Re: zebra pickups

The good old zebra versus rev. zebra confusion.

According to Duncan, zebra = creme screw coil and black slug coil.

But many (other than Duncan folk) refer to that combination as the reverse zebra, as 50's zebra PAF's generally came with black screw coil and creme slug coil. At least that's what they say was more common.

Re: zebra pickups

Hey repulse in zebra the screw coil wld be the cream and stud coil black. what Artie said is correct u want to go in for the Zebra , where u wld have a cream coil facing the bridge on the bridge pickup & cream coil facing neck on the neck pick up.
Oh yes and no Q is dumb!
 
Re: zebra pickups

so you'd adjust the pole pieces from the screw coils? cool.. i didn't know that! thanks for being really helpful!
 
Re: zebra pickups

The top two pickups in the link you provided are zebra, the bottom two are reverse zebra.

Screw coils creme = zebra

Screw coils black = reverse zebra
