After years of making guitar pickups I've come to the conclusion that most players know exacly what they want. Rather than offer you an array of ever-so-slightly different variations on this classic design I thought it'd be best to let you pick and choose the exact specifications that you need to acheive your perfect sound.
Tapped singlecoils (not to be confused with split humbuckers) have 2 live wires, each offering a different DC resistance output. Attach both these wires to a toggle switch and you'll be able to jump between vintage and vintage-hot tones from your pickup.
I allow you to choose the DC resisitance output for both of these settings - I'd recommend around 2kΩ difference between to outputs but you can go for something more subtle or extreme if you like.
Please keep the total DC resistance value of live 1 + live 2 under 11kΩ for bridge and middle pickups and under 10kΩ for neck pickups.
42-awg coil wire will be used wherever possible. For higher output specifications 43-awg will be used where necessary. Be sure to do plenty of research before selecting your pickup's coil insulation material and grade of alnico rod magnets - there is no right or wrong and it all comes down to personal taste.
When selecting your level of wax-potting consider that a light potting means that the wax is kept away from the centre of the coil which will result in enhanced dynamics whereas a full potting soaks the entire coil with wax which will help prevent unwanted feedback when playing at high volume.
This website platform currently only allows me to offer you 6 variables to change so please include a note if you would like to change any of the following features:
• To ensure RWRP when ordering multilpe pickups bridge and neck will read south up with anti-clockwise from earth to live, middle pickup will read north up with clockwise from earth to live
• Pickups will feature a modern staggered formation - let me know if you'd like them flat (all rods 17.5mm high) or in a vintage staggered formation
• Pickup will be fitted with a random coloured cover. Please leave a note if you want to choose from the following: BLACK, CREAM, LIGHT CREAM, IVORY, VINTAGE WHITE
