This does 2 things .# 1 This is where 90% of Vintage Fender pickups fail. The coil wire rubbing against the magnets, the lacquer protects against this. # 2 This glues the Flatwork to the magnets , eliminating the use of super glue.3- Pickup winding- I use a MOJOTONE pickup Winder , varying my patterns and wire tension that I've developed , coming from months of hand on research and beta testing.4- I install lead Vintage push back Cloth covered wires directly to the pickups.5- Perform the initial testing ,k ohms, Henries and pf capacitance.6- Waxing- I use 80% Paraffin and 20% Bees Wax, heated to 140-150 degrees for 10-15 minutes perfect for response and Clarity.7- I wrap the coil with fabric tape for 4 reasons. #1 It cuts down the chances of damaging the coil wire when changing pickup covers. #2 Helps stop high gain monophonic feedback. The tape has zero effect on tone. #3 Keeps out moisture, just an added protection and expense of building a long lasting reliable pickup. #4 Some guitarist while recording will sit in my control room with the AMP in the ISO room, while others like to sit or stand by their amp. I started to notice that most Gibson guitars did not have that high squeal and after checking those guitars they had Fabric tape on their pickups. So I put Fabric tape on a few of my Strats and was floored that this worked and I take the extra step to build all my pickups this way. Back in the 50's there was no need for it because the AMPS was not as high powered as today's.NO change in TONE.8- Perform second round of testing , confirming the correct specifications are met. 9- Charge magnets. I use a Mojotone N/S Charger that's no longer made and I fully charge to 1000-1200 Gauss10- Assemble and solder pickguard. I have a 5 way Stew mac Template finished and all I have to do solder in the pickups you choose to the pickguard you choose. After purchase contact me about your choice of Color Pickguard.

I been playing Strats for over 50 years and have a pretty good idea of how a Vintage Strat should sound.80% of the Strat players are ok or happy with their tone. I am after that 20% very picky players. I would love to have orders from that 80% to show them what they are missing and what a low cost pickup upgrade can do for their guitar and the enjoyment these pickups can bring. Now for those 20% picky players they also know what to do with that vintage tone. These pickups are hand made one at a time, by me in my small USA Shop. I use USA Remington Wire and have made my pickups as affordable as possible, using the highest quality parts from USA suppliers. My pickups have that true Vintage tone that only fine made hand /scatter wound pickups can bring. All my pickups are Vintage spec'd to the correct pre CBS or early CBS years. My pickups are made to last, and come from the result of listening to my vintage guitar collection, and taking apart a bucket full of DEAD FENDER pickups, studying them , painstakingly un-winding them on video and taking very detailed notes. This is how I came up with my proprietary way of hand winding my pickups. I started BETA testing in 2020 on every kind of neck and body wood made. Plus I tested on Tube and solid state amps, pedals ,digital devices, and software in my recording studio, that I opened in 1999 with fantastic results. I have built numerous partcasters, and have installed my pickups, and they are highly comparable to my vintage collection. I am receiving great reviews and feedback from all the guitar players currently using my pickups. New to selling on eBay .I am on other music gear sites and working on a youtube channel. I have owned just about every pickup on the market from the big 3 to the best boutique builders so I knew I had to build a great pickup. The work has been done , so install , and you will have complete NIRVANA for recording and playing live.
