I don't doubt they sound different but I'm not too sure that they're wound hotter. It may just be the lack of circuitry...

Gibson is a lazy company and that's another reason I think they just threw in the same TB+ Humbuckers P/Ups.

Exactly! I'm thinking the same thing...

I'm off topic again but just for V, ignore the strawberry one

I would think a short wavelength UV lamp/s, and the guitar exposed to it for long periods of time will get the desired effect.
But i guess a lot also depends on what the finish is. Suppose that would determine which type of light source to use.

you supposing very good.

I first tried behind the pickguard, seeing that it had the desired effect, I did everything else

By cons, must be patient........

As a native Californian who left San Diego to work in KY and now Nashville TN, I'll take earthquakes all the time. Hurricanes kill people. Earthquakes rarely break stuff. As to when they happen, that's easy: bout every week. After a while you can tell after a moment what magnitude the quake is. A significant one is fairly rare.

This plus a 1000!

I've lived in Tornado areas, Hurricane areas, Blizzard areas, Avalanche areas, Flash Flood areas, Mud Slide areas, Wild Fire areas and Earthquake areas. When you're number is up, it's up. Any one of those natural disasters can break your belongings and kill you but given the choices of places to retire I decided to move out of Kentucky and into Southern California. Loved the Kentucky area but decided that it wasn't the best place to be as I get older.

What did I give up leaving Kentucky - winter ice storms that are foolishly deadly to drive in (2x a year), winter snow storms that are cardiovascular Russian roulette when shoveling a driveway (1x a year), spring rain storms that cause flash flooding and property damage (3x a year), spring thunder storms with property damage or death by lightning strikes (5x a year), spring tornado death and destruction (3x a year), summer stifling heat and humidity waves (10x a year), and fall tornados (1x a year), earthquakes (1x in 5 years). That over 25 life/property threatening events a year.

What do I have to deal with where I live in Southern California - earthquakes (1x in the last 5 years), wild fires (not where I live), flash floods (not where I live), mud/land slides (not where I live), snow/ice/hail/avalanche (not where I live), lightening strikes (not where I live), tsunami (not where I live), hurricane (not where I live). That's less than one life/property threatening events a year.

Full disclosure: yes, if you're stupid enough you can buy a house in California that is subject to nearly all the same climate disasters of the Midwest plus wild fires, mud slides and earthquakes. But it's important to note that California is made up of dozens of small climate zones that all have their own unique weather patterns and terrain issues. The weather report for the greater Los Angeles area is a hoot to watch. They do five weather reports every news cycle - a desert, mountain, inland empire, valley and coastal weather report. You don't have to look hard to find relatively disaster free areas.
