Tesla’s Coil “F.A.P” Pickup Development Group

“F.A.P” {For Applied Patient}

After getting Great feedback & meeting lots of small boutique Pickup builders

I was struck like Tesla with a bolt of lightning of a idea !!!

Why not pull our resources to develop & challenge & explore new territories in Pickups

I have been part of a group that has worked to un-tap the effects of aging of a vintage guitar & being able to recreate it

Why not get input from everyday folks & the master builder join forces on creating a Replica PAF with some Tesla Balls to the wall

Example :

1.PAF bobbins shrink & distort as they age thus the coil loses tension

Can the wire be heavily coated with a wax pre winding & then heat treaded to loosen the coil

2. Aging a magnet & recharging it after being wound

3. Aging the bobbins & shrinking pre winding

( you get the idea)

What if taller bobbins were used & the more of the screw & slug that the coil can energize

or ...deep freezing

What Markeymark, Zangliqum, Dave Stephen (i think) could have told you:

http://music-electronics-forum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=11

They are all, toghether with a lot of pro, semi pro and amature pickup winders, part of that forum. Taking the Cryogenic ideas there might be interesting.
