Quick Tone Zone question...

jeff l · #1 03-21-2003, 03:01 PM

Hey guys, I know this is dumb but I have a question about installing my new Tone Zone in my 570. Don't the screw-head polepieces go towards the bridge side?

Yeah, I know kinda dumb but I just want to be 100% sure before I install.

Thanks for any help.

yes screw heads nearest the bridge

Besides for cosmetic reasons, why does this matter?

Timanator,
All I can think of would be that you'd probably want the coil closest to the middle pickup active when using it in the split position. If it was reversed it would be active on the bridge side.

on many of the dimarzio's that are
"dual resonance" turning the pu around the other way(screw side toward neck)will give the pu a brighter tone.

if you put the pup with the screw heads nearest the bridge I find this the easiest because of the wire coming out of the pup will be at the end nearest the knobs

Yep. This is my take...
