Pushing the boundaries...

Re: Pushing the boundaries...

I remember an old interview with Les Paul... Said he wound a pickup with several turns of lamp cord once. It was the cleanest sounding pickup he'd ever wound, but it had really low output.

The cleanest tones come the thickest wire.

The very first pickup I did had 30AWG on it and was SO sparkly clean but, almost silent. I had to have the amp on full just to make it room-filling volume. The way turning a normal pickup to 2 would.
