We spare no expense in the materials used to produce our pickups. From the American made, hand beveled alnico magnets to the expensive plain enamel, and heavy formvar magnet wire we use; our main goal is to faithfully reproduce the tone of the pickups of yesteryear as close as possible with the materials available today. All ECP guitar pickups are made by hand the same way they were made during the golden age of guitar pickups. Expert Pickup Rewinding & Repair: We always try to repair your nonworking pickup first. If it is corroded or has multiple breaks in the wire, we will rewind your vintage pickup to its original specifications, with the same wire type that was originally used. After winding, your pickup will be potted as it was originally. My Strat style pickups are wound with true vintage tone in mind. These pickups are modeled after the pickups in an original early 1960 Strat, and an original mid 1965 Strat. They are not created from specs found on the internet, many of which I have found to be misleading. For this reason I've kept detailed logs on every aspect of the pickups in these guitars, from the magnet diameters and lengths, right down to the actual wire diameter and insulation. No stone was left unturned. I chose the 1960 and 1965 Strats because they were the most fantastic sounding examples to represent the black bottom and grey bottom era of pickups.
