Mighty kind of you to think of me. @nicolasrivera posted a great demo of my Greeny Burst / Peter Green PAF Humbucker Set on YouTube. Description / specs are in the video comments.

Many good pickup companies out now. I don’t know how their PG Blues humbuckers are but if they are anything like their single coiled Mother’s Milk Bare Knuckles are absolutely fantastic and won’t disappoint. Again many excellent builders out there these days.

Having played the real Peter green guitar for a good half day (not bullsh*tting here) I can say the shed supernaturals and both Pg blues do a damn good job. I haven't tried the OX4 or throbak. I would say however, that I really don't think they are A2 magnets in the originals...the bottom end was a bit too compressed and round in the stock bareknuckles. The original was drier. I ended up swapping the magnets for a4s in the Pg blues and was much happier. Originals if I had to guess were a4 or A5 but purely conjecture, who knows...
We did take readings on the originals but I can't remember what they were. I think they were in the 8s though, certainly on the bridge. I know Mark stow from ox4 probably has those original readings...I was with him when I got the very fortunate chance to play it.
In all my own guitars I have regular sets of pickups where I've just done a magnet flip. It's 95% the same but there is something a little sweeter around the middle position on the reverse wound sets, and the actual greenie had the sweetest out of phase sound of the bunch. If you wanna hear the magnet flip tone listen to snowy white...that's more what mine sound like...it's just slightly harder and slightly thinner sounding in my experience, which in many cases I actually like. anyway, I digress....

I don't know what it means myself, but I do know that to my ears, they sound very close. If I'm not mistaken, Gary Moore had Tim make him a set?
