All of our pickups are hand wound and scatterwound. The neck and bridge are north up polarity while the middle is south up polarity and reverse wound to reduce the noise when in the 2 and 4 between pickup positions. 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 and dated. 100% made in the USA.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy Formvar .42 wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck and bridge are \u003ci\u003enorth up\u003c\/i\u003e while the middle is \u003ci\u003esouth up \u003c\/i\u003eand reverse wound\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod correct staggered pole pieces with aged finish\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlnico 5 magnets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAverage read outs: Neck 5.95, Middle 6.0, Bridge 6.04 but each may vary slightly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod correct 11 inch long cloth push back wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack fiber bobbins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lacquer or wax potted\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation hardware included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite cover included (cream and black available)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Migas Touch Pickups","offers":[{"title":"Lacquer Potted \/ Reverse Wound","offer_id":52385184940313,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lacquer Potted \/ Non-Reverse Wound","offer_id":52385184973081,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wax Potted \/ Reverse Wound","offer_id":52385185005849,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wax Potted \/ Non-Reverse Wound","offer_id":52385185038617,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/8081\/4361\/files\/IMG_6938.jpg?v=1778680310","url":"https:\/\/migastouchpickups.com\/products\/vintage-specs-1961-fender-stratocaster-guitar-pickups-hand-wound-by-migas-touch-pickups","provider":"Migas Touch Pickups","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
