The fact that the guitar actually gets played and we were able to hear it... vs it just being behind glass somewhere in a museum with a little placard with info is already a massive level of justice. This also makes me realize we rarely hear from Kirk. He should speak up more often.

Looking at Greeny's pickups, the neck pickup is installed upside down. (you can tell from the orientation of the pole pieces) That would explain why it is out of phase with the bridge pickup.
