A little bird sang to me that ...

I have seen a pic of the new SG neck pickup without the cover, its coils are spaced apart and between them theres a T-shaped aluminium thingie that polepieces screw on it. I hope it makes sense, still trying to remember where I have seen that photo...

edit: yeppers, found it!

You EURO nemesis, have I told you yet that your fruity avatars never fail to scale new heights?

Its a proof that two girls can be friends and share things.

I knew there was a spacer there, I'm just saying that's probably not what's responsible for the change in sound from the original TB Plus. It's the coil separation.

If the spacer were iron or steel, it would have a noticeable effect.

I only just now realized this:

He has you figured out.

Ofcourse the coil separation plays the biggest role here, but eddy currents because of that aluminum thingie helps blurriness. I'm not sure if aluminum is worst comparing to iron or brass on this.

I checked with Eddy, he says his current has nothing to do with it. 

Eddy currents could have some effect here, but AFAIK it's just speculation. The coil separation is a proven effect. Anyway, I'm no expert, but I thought excess eddy currents caused loss of output and loss of highs, not blurriness.
