True Left Handed Staggered Poles
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 specialized custom shop focusing on the creation of high-quality pickups for Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster guitars.
Our Vintage '59 pickups are crafted to emulate the iconic sound of the golden era of Fender, specifically from 1957 to 1962, widely regarded as the pinnacle of Stratocaster tone. Our ’59 pickups capture that sought-after blend of warm lows with a punch, a tone that legendary artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton have famously achieved.
To ensure durability, we lacquer seal all our bobbins and then lacquer pot them, effectively minimizing microphonic noises and unwanted squeals. Each pickup is hand-wound and scatterwound, with the neck and bridge pickups featuring north-up polarity, while the middle pickup is configured as south-up and reverse wound to reduce hum in positions 2 and 4. We invest significant time in testing various wires, magnets, and bobbins to produce top-tier quality in every pickup. Each hand-wound set is individually signed, numbered, and dated, and proudly 100% made in the USA.
