Wind direction can and will vary depending on who made the pickup and when it was made.

Depending on the situation you can reverse the wires or reverse the magnetic polarity in order to get the desired result.

I was thinking Neck/Bridge but Front/Back could also be used to specify the location of each pickup.

The Pickup Place / HSS with Dimarzio Bridge HB

Hey there, just a quick question (although I think I know the answer):
For position 4 in a HSS configuration I’d like to use the bridge (or screw) coil of the humbucker. This coil should be south. So the middle SC should be north and normal wound. Is this correct?

Does the neck pickup have an N on the back?

Nopes. It has an „F“ there, so it most likely is a bridge humbucker.

Well the one I'm talking about has a classic pole pieces configurations, no double row allen key type ones.
It could be a Tonezone, from visuals and the DC resistance, but with black baseplate an B 5 stamped in ... ?
Other than that I am out of ideas :-)

You are right.

Does anyone have any infos? It basically looks like a black EVH custom with black back, and  "B 5" stamped on it. It measures 17,2k and is F-spaced.

May it be "Breed"?

The Norton works great in a guitar that has a lot of natural lows, like a Les Paul or PRS Singlecut. It pairs well with the Liquifire in the neck.

I have a set neck guitar with 25" scale and warm tone. I will swap its custom pearly gates into Norton soon
