First, we start out with a pair of our own hand machined Forbon (vulcanized fiber) black top and gray bottom bobbin plates made right in house.
Then we assemble the bobbin with the correct size Alnico V magnets and insulate the bobbin with a coat of nitrocellulose lacquer
to protect the coil windings. Then we wind the pickup's coil with period correct 42 gauge plain enamel wire to original specification,
and overwrap the coil with a protective coat of white string. The pickup is now potted in a clear wax bath to solidify the coil and protect it,
a copper plated steel 'twang plate' is added, 'modern style' vinyl coated hookup wire is added to the pickup and the pickup is repotted
to reduce microphonics. Once the pickup has cooled, it is tested for power, tone, and microphonics, and a data sheet is written for each pickup.
