noobee	Re: Calling Dave Schwab... I have done a few before and this is only my impression. I used 43 plain enamal, wound both coils to the same turn count, I wound the coil closest to the bridge with about 40 to 50 TPL and the coil closest to the neck at about75 to 80 TPL, a little on the medium tension side on both coils, light potting only. Result was a very open but tight tone and the signature gibson tone was still there with no mud. Jason may have a better way of doing them than I do. The last one I did was back in about 1986 but I kept my notes. BTW it was an actual Gibson, not an epiphone, so yours may be different. PS- I dont remember what turns I wound it to or the actual ohms reading, sorry.
