Premier Guitar is On Location In Santa Barbara with Seymour Duncan, checking out how pickups are made. In this segment: what bobbins are made of and how wire gauge comes into play. Also - see the original winding machine used to make the early PAF's for Gibson; it's still in use by SD today.

  • This guy seems like such a cocky person. I don't know why I just don't like his attitude. But mad respect to the man, he knows his shit, has done his homework, and knows exactly what the hell he's talking about. Always.

  • Is it just me or does it seem like this guy uses the most complex terms and vocabulary he possibly can? lol

  • @mistad00m ...Duh....But he's his like second hand man. Working for the company Seymour Duncan...

  • @MotorSickler Crap. My secret has been exposed. Quick. Back to the flying saucer. Let's get outta here! ;-)

  • the guy interviewing looks like hes getting bored

  • @AlexSlams

    White/white doesn't belong to Dimarzio, cream/cream does, Seymour Duncan can't technically sell you a cream/cream pickup unless its covered (which the Seth Lovers and Antiquities are, thus you sometimes see them).

  • Isn't White/White copywritten by DiMarzio?

  • that is not seymour duncan

  • @DECIFERTHIS09 , I think the colours are just a code for the AWG. not sure what you mean about the winding, I think it's just a single wire start - finish.

  • @wpaschal88 , PremierGuitar have a website which gives wiring diagrams and advice (easy to follow). I got the wiring for my SSS individual on/off from there.. BTW, the wiring I just mentioned is (in my opinion) the best config for any strat by a long stretch, it gives 7 settings for the SSS, ie,, bridge + neck (almost a Tele) or all three "on". Much better than the 5 way toggle ;-)
