Pickups are very simple objects: some metal, copper wire and magnets. Here you have a picture of the parts I make to craft my own single coil model. When I designed my own guitar I decided to design pickups, too. So I was free to experiment different coil shape and dimensions without concerning to standard pocket holes: I had to focus only on the sonic result. It has a P90’s structure, but not having limitation in designing it, it has different coil dimensions and different slugs. I like to combine different copper wire – usually Heavy Formvar, Plain Enamel, Polysol – with various magnets – mainly A2, A4, A5, ceramic – (they can be different in the same pickups, too). It is my burden. You have to think about the sound you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it is very interesting to understand how they interact each other and how materials affect the behaviour of the pickup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every single pickup is made after hearing how the guitar sounds acoustically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
