Seeing as you asked...	Re: The proper way for reverse winding of humbuckers Here a thing to do if you have time. Take a regular bucker and remove the screws, poles and metal bar under the screws - just stuff it with maple spacers. If the coils match to within 2% the bucker will be incredibly quiet. Then put a couple of screws into the screw coil...at high gain the hum increases!!! More screws, more hum!!! Its about the loading of the coil, NOT about matching the winds or resistance. Kinman uses this to great effect with his second-generation noiseless design. His first effort was the most blatant attempt to rip of our mate Larry D., but thats another story.
