Zebra/polepiece question

Alright, I'm looking into a neck pickup for my Agile AL-2500. (LP copy)

I want a thick, fluid lead tone, so I'm thinking of putting a JB in the neck slot. There'll be a DMZ Super Distortion in the bridge, so I don't think I'd have any balance issues, but...

That's what I'm going for. So if I end up with a JB in the neck, I see I have two choices:

Put a zebra pickup, but backwards
Put a reverse zebra pickup, in the normal orientation.

If I put a zebra pickup backwards, the logo would be facing the wrong way, and I don't really want that. :smack:

Anyway, my real question is this - if I put a reverse zebra pickup in, the screw polepieces will be on the opposite side. (facing the bridge) Would that have an appreciable effect on the sound? I can't imagine it'd make that much of a difference.

:burnout:

It won't make a huge difference, but it will make one. It is going to make the pickup slightly brighter, which might not be a bad thing.

Cool...yeah, I don't think it being a little brighter would be bad in this application. Thanks :beerchug:

I had the pickguard off for a while, but I ended up putting it back on. I'll see what it looks like once I get the new pickups in.
