Peter Green tone...

According to Bareknuckle pickups their PG set features the neck pickup wired out of phase rather than being magnetically out of phase which, apparently, is incorrect.
The pickup set was designed in consultation with Sam Lee who did the original repair to Gary Moore/PG's guitar; he should know, right?

I really hope that one day someone will put a kind of a final web page about PG out-of-phase thing. Explanation, photos, sound clips, instruction how to use it, everything. After that we'll just paste one link every time anyone asks PG.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Ok, back to the op.

So, wired oop or wound oop?

What repair did he do? The pickup was altered before Gary Moore owned it.

I have heard and played a Burst [and other Les Pauls] with the magnet flip, and to me it sounded exactly like the Peter Green Burst did when I played it.
I don't see how merely reversing the polarity of the pups can achieve the same sound. :hmm

I have spoken/dealt with UK tech Charlie Chandler, (who worked-on and repaired the damaged ex-Peter Green Les Paul after Gary's car was rear-ended). His view is that the neck pickup was a magnet flip on a 2 conductor-wired humbucker pickup. As for the reversed pickup orientation, that was probably just a chance accident by Peter Green mid '67 after he temporarily covered the top with a black fablon material around the time of the Windsor Blues Festival when Fleetwood Mac first formed. Once the magnet is flipped, the 'out of phase' sound in the middle selector position will be there, (regardless of how the external pickup appearance is orientated).
