Left Handed Humbucker?
I just bought an Epiphone Sheraton (lefty) and am looking to change out the pickups to probably Seth Lovers, maybe Alnico II's. Curious if anyone has any advice regarding steps to convert a righty humbucker to fit a left handed guitar, or if inverting the pickup (and order of bobbins) makes a significant difference in sound.

Re: Left Handed Humbucker?
The "handed-ness" of the guitar doesn't have anything to do with how you put the pickups in (if they are humbucker that is). Just make sure the screw coil is towards the neck if it's a neck pickup and towards the bridge if it's a bridge pickup. You might have to run the wire under the body of the pickup, but that's no big deal.

It's a factor on Strat type single coils where you have an asymetrical stagger on the rods (but will still work fine) -- but on humbuckers, there's no such thing as left or right handed pickups.
In 1861 as the Confederate forces were about to fire on Fort Sumter, the blue and gray had infinitely more in common than the blue and red today. What fellowship can "the truth shall set you free" ever have with "there is no truth, only points of view", or "what is truth?"
Secession would be a horror. But barring a major national crisis like a Black Death magnitude epidemic or nuclear attack to erase once and for all the myth that truth is negotiable, it is coming.
