Rob Seymour Duncans Bobbin Orientation
In their specs, Seymour Duncan defines winding direction as the usual TG= Top Going, TC= Top Coming.  
 
However, the bobbin orientation isn't specified.  
 
Anyone know what the bobbin orienation is?  
(Top left or Top Right)  
 
Is this orientation always used in their pickups?  
 
Regards  
Rob

Not sure, but I wish they would just stick to the standard Clockwise and Counterclockwise.  
They do it to confuse people, I say!

Yeah there isn't much standardization, unfortunately there's 45 years of old bagage to carry around now.  
 
Humbucker wiring color codes is one of my favourites....

The assumption is top right, but Duncan tries to wind in the original directions to ensure compatability. This will be different for a middle pickup, or one pickup in a 2 pickup set i.e. tele.
