    Okay, guys, seems like the '51 humbucker topic disappeared - sounds like you need to start a new thread!

    Sorry, Robert. I'll reserve my Pig Latin for other topics.

    I agree with kerc. The '51 humbucker does sound good, though I don't buy the idea that the paint color has anything to do with it.

    It's interesting how when we have a fairly simple electric circuit with known tolerances (equals variations) in component values that people want to credit the paint color for the tone differences.

    By the way, yesterday a red Porsche left the stoplight line much faster than my silver Honda CRV. Should I paint my CRV red?

    Paint it red for sure. I think it might help.

    I rehearsed with a band last night, and my '51 bucker on the split coil setting sounded great, except for some hum. That split coil thing really works well I think. The neck pup gets a little to bassy for me rhythm work. Good for soloing though.

    I think a Rainbow Colored one would color the sound to much... but... ya know all joking aside about colors.. it may be that when they changed factories it was a certain color that went first..I dunno.. was just looking at reviews on Harmony and around the web and it seemed a certain color kept popping up as the one that got bad reviews.. I really enjoy the 51 I have.. a friend locally had to go thru about 5 51's at the local stores to find one that sounded like mine... turned out same color.. and the ones he disliked the other color (different plants at the time made?).. ummm colors aside... I don't think I will even change the pickguard anymore...not this week anyways.. I like the Pickups (both) and looks as is..
