Wanna know a secret of the great pickup manufacturers? Repeatability. If you can make that one magic sounding pickup every single time, that’s manufacturing happiness for players and listeners far and wide. I learned this from the pickup guru Carey Nordstrand. I get repeatability by using the Tonewinder pickup winder and documenting every process for every pickup. On my hand winds, I have sheets of paper with wind patterns documented for every 600 winds. There’s an entire file cabinet in the shop with all the specs for every pickup I make so I can reference the original magic pickup in the future. Using high quality parts and tools makes everything consistent and predictable. That Stewmac screwdriver set is a game changer for humbucker manufacturing. Philadelphia luthier parts fuels the process too. Quality ingredients and disciplined focus on the small tasks make quality pickups.
