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

Rory Gallagher Tribute '61 Stratocaster Pickup Set.  This is a tribute to Rory Gallaghers Famous '61 Strat, we used early 60's spec bobbins, hand beveled the poles to match his heavily beveled ones which gives them that incredible warm tone, using .42 heavy formvar wire and over winding them to achieve a those unmistakable tones Rory was known for.  We lacquer dip all of our bobbins for durability then lacquer pot them to avoid microphonic noises and squeals. All of our pickups are hand wound and scatterwound.  We have spent a great amount of time and effort 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 and dated. 100% made in the USA..
