Yeah.
Things I like about the assembly work are flawless soldering joints, flawless routing of "pigtail" leads that come off the coils...no unneccesary lenghts or funky lead twisting, extraordinary taping and securing of the coils. Because of this, I am not forced to wax-pot my coils to reduce microphonics.
Everything is extremely clean, neat, and tidy, even in areas you can't see.
I just bought a pair of "Dragonfire" pickups off Ebay this week to take a look, and all I could think of was "WTF is this crap?"
Pay attention to what the other guys do, and do it
better. is my motto.
To give you an idea of how anal I am about this stuff...if you look at the plain steel slugs in the lighter bobbin (
visible on the full sized picture) you'll notice a slight gap between the plastic and the steel. I am going to reduce the radius on this edge by about .003 on the next order of these parts, to reduce that gap and creat a smoother steel/plastic transition.
