My Fender single coil replacement pickups are made using precision CNC and laser-cut forbon vulcanized fiberboard, select premium quality Alnico magnets in grades 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, use Formvar, Plain Enamel, or Poly-nylon insulated coil wire depending on the model, and have cloth push-back lead wires with a cloth tape finish.
All single coil pickups are wax potted.
All single coil sets are RWRP standard. If you would like a non-RWRP set, please note this in the “Order Notes” at checkout.
My P90 and humbucking guitar pickups are made using nickel silver baseplates and covers, molded plastic or butyrate bobbins, Alnico magnets in grades 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 as well as Ceramic magnets in grades 5 and 8, wound with Formvar, Plain Enamel, or Poly-nylon insulated wire depending on the model, and are available with braided single, 3 conductor, or 4 conductor lead wires.
All pickups are wax potted, except for the VPAF models.
