How does a pickup die or turn microphonic?

Usually it is about 140-150F° to melt wax. Some waxes might melt at lower temps.

Leaving a guitar in the car in Florida in the summer will certainly melt the wax.


Worse than that is the potential damage to the wood being warped. Parked cars in the Florida sun are like microwave ovens.
