shakyhands Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 May sound stupid but have had heard different statements..... If a pickup is to be wound counter clockwise or clockwise, Is it the bobbin rotation or the wire rotation that is spoken of in winding direction. I feel that if a pickup is to be wound and someone said clockwise, thats the direction i would wind the wire around the bobbin not the direction of the bobbin rotation...I'm talking bout on a winding machine with bottom flange on faceplate.

Stalefish Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Ok, I'm not expert at pickup making but there doesn't seem to be any difference between winding a pickup one way or the other except when you're winding let's say a middle position single coil RWRP.. Even then, it should be just a matter of making sure that the windings are in opposite directions, and of course the magnets themselves.. That's for single coils.. Not sure about humbuckers 'cause I was more interested in winding singles.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
