This is a '67 Gretsch Clipper which has had the single Hi-Lo Tron replaced with two DeArmonds. I do not believe they are vintage dynasonics, nor do I believe they are the DeArmond 2000's, but rather likely the DeArmond 2K. Can anyone here confirm?
Also, I received the guitar with the pickups installed as they are in the first pic, which puts the magnets on each pickup closer to the middle as opposed to closer to the neck and bridge respectively. I realize this is not the correct orientation, but does it matter? Flipping the pickup orientation would just help brighten up the bridge and darken the neck, correct? So if I already think there is a bit too much bright/dark difference between the two pickups, it doesn't make sense for me to reorient them, which would just further accentuate the difference. Tell me if I'm wrong.
Thanks!
