Polyurethane Enameled Guitar Pickup Wire 42 Awg 43 Awg 44 Awg

PICKUP COIL

The coil is wrapped around the assembly of the Pole Pieces and Bobbins to complete the electromagnet. The wire is very thin and hair-like which allows for many wraps, anything between 6000 to 8500 turns and even more in some cases. There’s a bit of a misnomer here between hand wound or machine wound, as the truth is all pickup wire is machine wound, it’s whether the wire is fed by a human operator or not that defines the hand wound or machine wound nature of it. Different pickups utilise different amounts of wire wraps, which affects the tonality of the guitar pickup. More wraps usually results in higher output whereas as lower numbers give you less output and a warmer sound.
