Fredg	Re: Pickup installation question Well, dang, I guess I'm just a little confused. I always thought that the orientation of a humbucker had everything to do with which way you mounted the pickup with respect to the adjustable poles. I always thought that if you mounted it with the screws towards the bridge, it would accentuate highs, while if you mounted it with screws towards the neck, it would ATTENUATE highs. So the idea of having adjustable poles on both coils confuses me. Please pardon my faux pas regarding the dummy coil terminology. Further commentary would be appreciated!
