Custom Hand Wound Guitar Pickups-

Why hand wound you ask? Well to reduce the effects of a phenomenon called capacitance coupling which happens when the current paths are ran to close and in parallel with each other. With pickups wound by machines the inner layers of wire are so precise and close together that this phenomenon of capacitance coupling builds up and eliminates the higher frequency harmonics to the point that the guitar sounds dull and less "alive". With hand wound (aka scatter wound) pickups this coupling effect is greatly reduced allowing the pickups to sound lively with rich and full tone.
