there just picks Gerrit, I guess if you want a gibson logo on your pick, go ahead and buy them ,  if you want something different send me your address and I'll send you a couple for free  ...... John at wingfamily1@verizon.net

HI,Phil I would say that it would be a matter of Ohm-age,and what each pick up is putting out, like a 498 and a 490 there really isnt that much of a difference, you could on some guitars actually have a hotter p/u in the neck than in the bridge but because of its placement it sounds hotter, as far as the  2 single coils snugged up against on another I never thought of doing that but if there shielded I suppose it would work , it wouldn't magically become a humbucker  I have some old 60's jap axs and the ones with four p/u's are set pretty close to one another I'm sure that there is little to no shielding on those , try it let me know what happens...John

Phil, I see , I in no way meant any disrespect to your posting, after reading it over I see your point, if your point is (if you have less expensive model and your not getting the sound you want don't give up, try another copy or other brand and you may surprise yourself) am I close? I'm sure your infection will clear itself up soon , if you rub a little fastfret on it that may help ease your pain.....I dreamt I was a muffler last night............I woke this morning  exhausted...lol John

anyone? John at wingfamily1@verizon.net

Im not really sure what your trying to say here, dont buy a gibson or a fender even if you can afford it? I love my cheap guitars as much as the next guy but you cant compare a gibson les paul to epi paul in all serousness and tell some kid that its the same ax ....its not, there are a great number of good imported guitars out there god knows I have enough of them ,but there is differance , I'm really looking forward to your list of guitars, I'll leave you with this to add to your words of wisdom you have below your posting (Its not having what you want ....its wanting what you have) ....later John
