Awg 42 Heavy Formvar Enamel Insulated Copper Wire For Guitar Pickup
42 AWG heavy formvar enameled copper wire for guitar pickup
Here are at least 18 different types of wire insulation: polyurethanes, nylons, poly-nylons, polyester, and to name a few. Pickup makers have learned how to use different types of insulation to refine a pickup’s tonal response. For example, a wire with heavier insulation can be used to maintain more high-end detail.
Period-accurate wire is used in all vintage-style pickups. One popular vintage-style insulation is Formvar, which was used on old Strats and on some Jazz Bass pickups. But what the insulation vintage buffs know best is plain enamel, with its blackish-purple coating. Plain enamel wire was common in the ’50s and into the ’60s before the new insulations had been invented.
