Replacing Your Guitar Pickups? Here's What To Look Out For

It is about finding the best and all the great tone for the tone of what is a completely different opinion.

A well-made pickup is just like a fine meal. It merged with many different materials to meet the magic recipe is a mix. A little too much garlic or not enough heat and food poor, sloppy or wrong magnets coil windings (to name just two elements) can be and bang goes your pickup tone. There are several aspects that need to come together and take on different guitar pickup their suppliers are unique.

It's easy incredibly elusive "special" tone is not. Even after Gibson (patent application) PAF humbucker pickups of the late 1950s were not much like all look great. Pickups sound good example of that era, probably the best you have ever heard, but there are certainly some of the same period were duds.

Listed below are some of the elements that build a guitar pick will play an important part in the overall results:

1. In general build quality. Tape, soldering and general all components put together.

2. Coil windings. Patterns, stress, number of turns, it wound scatter (some even prefer the winding machine) and type of wire.

3. Normal quality of materials used including screws, magnets, etc. bobbins

4. Whether or not the pickups are wax potted. Amp paraffin wax and mix it through a self sealing process to prevent any microphonic feedback. Some people say that do not have a really great pickup wax potting, the 1950 humbuckers rooms were not really old, but in reality that most need it.

5. Balancing all the various components. For example, different alnico and ceramic magnets coil balanced with the total number of winds is a major juggling act.

The other factor to consider is your style of play, of course. For example, a jazz guitarist and maybe a little production with Alnico 4 magnets can enjoy a round and mellow sound. On the other hand too much of a rocker well production based around a ceramic magnet could be looking for.
