Dear forumers, need some advice on whether to orientate my pickups zebra or reverse zebra?

Btw these are dimarzio Paf Pro and Super Distortions. I have checked on the FAQ in Dimarzio's Official website and it says that it doesn't affect the tone at all which way it goes. So please tell me which do you prefer and why? Zebra or Reverse Zebra?

Both pickups have identical coils (you can see that by the "patent n/a" description on the manufacturer's website - otherwise the description would contain the dual resonance patent number). Therefore, it should not matter how they are installed so you can decide what looks better to you.

I prefer zebra, it has more of a traditional look to me. My LPs with DMZs are all zebras. I guess its a tastes thing - both ways look good and better then all black does, anyway.

Like DBM said, its just an appereance difference, theres no actual difference in sound the way you install them.

It's a win-win. Go with what you think is the coolest.

I like the Zebra because of the black Single Coil in the middle

Zebra makes it go black/cream -> black -> cream/black which alternates the coil colors and looks great to me.

I'm personally not as fond of the the way Reverse Zebra puts all 3 black coils next to each other.

That would also be my choice, and for the exact same reason.

It's a win-win. Go with bathmate x50 what you think is the coolest.

I prefer the Zebra.
