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.
 
Tribute to the infamous Fender Broadcaster, our P-51 pickups use Alnico 2 magnets to give them the Fatter and Warmer sound than typical Tele pickups and with more mid range tones. 
The neck pickup features and open top cover. The bridge is south up and the neck is north up and is reverse wound to reduce the noise when mixing pickups.
Our vintage 50's P-51 pickups are lacquer potted to avoid microphonic noises and squeals, but still remain true to the original tones and characteristics.  
We have spent years testing different wire and wire makers and only use the finest quality we have found along with period matching bobbins and push back leads to insure nothing but the best sounding pickups. We use .42 Plain Enamel wire for the Bridge and .43 Plain Enamel for the neck to retain their true to the period correctness. Each hand-wound set is signed and 100% Made in the USA.
