42 awg 43 awg 44 awg magnet wire, plain enamel gutiar pickup wire

This is the famous purple/brown insulator. This insulator was one of the very first insulation is to be invented and used as a magnet wire insulator. People who are not accustomed to working with this insulation type, will find it to be very resistant to solder. Soldering with this insulator will often require removal of insulation film by way of abrasion. It is not very resistant to solvents. This is one of many .0002″ thick insulations. It is also very inconsistent in its overall thickness across the length of wire, making for an unpredictable element. Those un-controllable variables can often be attributed to the musical ability of a pickup. Sometimes the flaws are what make something great.
