Can you please provide example audio to show this difference in tone you keep mentioning? i.e. make 2 identical pickups, with all the same materials and number of turns etc., but the only difference is one made entirely by machine ("flat" wiring) and the other hand-assisted as you described (the "scattered" version).
Also too, the natural oils in your fingers when hand winding contribute to the warmthness of tone of the pickups. Also the Aura of your hard work flows into the magnets.
For curiosity, can someone make a case for handwinding pickup coils instead of machine winding? I just can’t figure out why any company would take the additional costs and risks of human error and inconsistency instead of using machine that would be able to be programmed to do the same task with incredible consistency?
some pickups like dimarzio are machin wound but still have wonderfull sound. why? so its not neccecary to be hand wounded is it? alos does the shield of the wire really matter and effect the sound? some people say yes but it does not make scence .its just a shield
Have you folks compared capacitance in different scatter pattern's and ones that are wound very linear. I'll bet a scatter wound will have less capacitance.
Good to know Paul. It think you can go further and add “Handwound by....”. I once had a set of Hand wound by Abigail, and I really did not like it. So I guess it matters quite a loy WHO the person is. So let me suggest “Hand wound by senior pick up designers” (or something like that) :-)
But the holy grail of pickups, the late 50’s Gibson P.A.F.s were completely MACHINE WOUND on Gibson’s Leesona winding machines. So why is “hand wound” such a buzzword among guitar geeks? Is this just more nonsense like “Tonewoods” in electric guitars or “true bypass” in pedals? As long as the coil wire isn’t laid down in a perfectly sequential, orderly pattern, the pickup will have the proper scatter wound tone, no? As with all things, I could be very wrong. A little knowledge is a very dangerous thing. A lot of experience is far better, and I don’t have much experience winding pickups.

Hi! Would brown bobine to be intented for darker tones? 😎🤘 Cheers!

And if you make the pickups’ flatwork from the proper tonewoods the pickups will sound “creamy” and “warm”.
😂😂😂😂🕞🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🎸🎸🎸🤡🤡🤡
Awesome video, I learned a lot!

Hahaha Johnny Ball! Awesome shout😆👌
What gauge do you like using?

They use machinery to simulate hand-winding coils for mass production.
ive subscribed nearly exclusively for ur usage of the term "johnny ball"🙏
Hahahaha! Glad someone gets the reference! Paul

Radioshop Pickups, does the handwound have more or less capacitance and inductance compared to machine wound pickkups?

These are not the parameters you should worry about. )))
@Hope Browning
Nope.

Big name guitars need to consistently sound the same i guess so machine wound would be the standard...
Definitely got a point, but you can still consistent in how you handwind 👍
