zebras....not the four legged ones!

Hi guys,
Just a general question, does it matter which way round zebra pickups are installed as I have seen many guitars with varying set-Ups. Thanks, kev.

I have often wondered that myself. Most of the time the white pickup is facing to the neck side of the guitar but I have seen the reverse or even half and half (Black/White White/Black). Not sure if its for cosmetic or it makes a difference in sound.

Thanks Surf
gonna try some prs zebras from an SE custom into a Korean Tokai love rock just for a laugh. Seen some reasonable reviews and wondered if they may be an improvement on stock. Not that the are that bad. Your thoughts?. unfortunately I'm only a budget guitarist as I'm always skint.
