Humbucker Polepiece Zig-Zag
     Comments

I got some new pickups the other day and since all of the polepieces were for sure at the same height, I tested back and forth with the ZigZag polepiece pattern. IMO the zigzag gives the best results. Now, I did this with a Les Paul guitar. Most LPs have a 12" bridge/fretboard radius. It may be just a coincidence that the zigzag as shown below works great on the LP because the radiusing of the polepieces ends up matching the radius of the strings. Now, if you tried this zigzag patter on, say, an Ibanez RG with a 17" radius, this pattern would most probably not work well.
