This fine copper wire comes from the US and is specially developed for winding guitar pickups.
Coating of pickup winding wire:
Poly-nylon coating is commonly used in modern pickups mostly because of its high consistancy.
Enamel coating is a traditional coating used in Humbucker en Fender pickups. This wire creates a more raw sound.
Heavy Formvar coating is a vintage style coating that was used frequently in pickups made in the 50’s and 60’s.
Thickness of the copper wire:
AWG 42 is 0.063mm thick and commonly used for Humbuckers, Strat en Tele bridge pickups.
AWG 43 is 0,056mm thick and require less windings to produce the same resistance. This is commonly used for a.o. Tele neck pickups.
AWG 44 is 0,050mm thick and is used for modern pickups with high output. The thinner wire enables you to put more windings on a bobbin and thus creating higher output.
Use:
The amount of wire used depends in the number of windings, the thickness of the wire and the coating.
250g is in general sufficient for 2 to 3 humbuckers or 5 to 6 single coils.
500g should be sufficient for 4 to 6 humbuckers and 10 to 12 single coils.
