Lacquer vs Wax Potting:
Both are used to seal the wire to avoid microphonic noises and squeals.

Wax potting takes 10 to 15 minutes to allow the wax to completely penetrate the pickup. This eliminates all microphonic noise and squeals.

Lacquer potting is a quick dip to seal the outside of the pickup wires and does not penetrate completely.  This does eliminates most of the microphonic noise and squeals while allowing the wire to remain free inside for a more high-end airy lively tone

Migas Touch is a custom shop pickup maker. We specialize in Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster pickups. All of our pickups are hand wound and scatterwound.
Our vintage 50's Telecaster pickups are lacquer potted to avoid microphonic noises and squeals but still remain true to the original tones and characteristics and make them lively with more clarity and bite. The bridge is south up and the neck is north up and is reverse wound to reduce the noise when mixing pickups. Both are Alnico V magnets.

We have spent a great amount of time testing wires, magnets, and bobbins from various sources to product the best quality pickup that we can. Each of our hand-wound sets are signed, numbered, and dated. 100% made in the USA.
