HQ Pickup winding wire from AndryPickupParts team

[MrCandy]

We bring to your attention pickup winding wire AWG 42/43 that corresponds to NEMA standarts.
42 AWG(0.0635mm)[copper]; OD= 0.071mm; 10 Foot DCR= 16.85 om t= 23 °C
43 AWG(0.055mm)[copper]; OD= 0.059mm; 10 Foot DCR= 22.30 om t= 23 °C
Quality of the wire is very high, thin single-layer insulation, easily soldered,
high resistance to extension.
Each caliber of wire goes from one machine that ensures the stability of its parameters.

1/2 lb coil= 20usd
1/4 lb coil= 10usd
We can also sell relatively large amount of wire in large bobbins from under the machine.The amount of big coils is in the range of 5-15lbs on the basis of that
1lb=38usd.

Please check the images below and our Pickup wire pre-packaging and quality control video on youtube to know more.

The first image is an example of 52mm bobbin winding(AWG 43) 6900 numer of turns and its DCR.
Also if you have any questions please mail andrysaleshandling@gmail.com or ask them in this thread.

With respect
MrCandy and AndryPickupParts team.

What insulations are available?
Insulation Codes please.

38/lb seems kinda steep for Poly coating...just my two cents

This wire is made for pickup making and designed solely for the usability in this sphere of activity.
The isolation is made by IEC 60317-20 STANDART. Since this wire is designed specifically for pickup manufacturing the isolation is very thin(custom individual nuance). the wire is also easily soldered, high resistance to extension.

To develop this series of high-quality pickup wire it took a lot of experimentation time and effort to achieve those properties that will call this wire the HQ pickup winding wire.It is a reasonable price for the wire Set as exclusively for pickup manufacturing.Or do you think that it should cost a peppermint candy Mr Carisen?
In our country they say: "Who does not like cats have not tried to cook them"

So with all due respect do not make hasty conclusions.

I dunno Mr. Candy - you claim to have created a new wire designed specifically for guitar pickups (which is probably just poly) without citing many properties except that the insulation is very thin and the wire is strong. To actually draw your own batch of wire from scratch to your own specifications is something that would need to be done on a pretty big scale.

John is simply comparing the prices to well known rates from Elektrisola, MWS, Essex, etc.... to say that your wire tops the quality of these wires at this point is complete hearsay, especially since I suspect you probably got the wire from them to begin with.

Point is: if you want to sell a product to a bunch of folks who have been dealing with this sort of thing for a long time, I think you need to be prepared with real answers and not just "this is high quality" and discarding comments about how it is about twice as expensive as some very, very good wires out there.

We dont CLAIM anything Mr. FunkyKikuchiyo, and certainly did not want to hurt the high feelings of any member of this comunity.
We are not obsessed with selling we just offer this comunity to try this product.
We also compared the price and the product is worth exactly as much as it worth except for certain discounts depending on quantity.
As for the "real answers" nobody except big_teee asked real questions.Do not worry we have all the answers we need.

We value your opinion
With respect

MrCandy sent me two sample rolls of wire to check out and asked I post a review here. I recieved an 8 oz roll of 42 ands 43 AWG. The wire is spooled on the roll nicely and unspools with no tangles. Both rolls had clear (I'm assuming it's poly) insulation. The 43 smelled a lot like PE with a magic marker kind of scent.

I would a number of coils using both. The wire wound well, and I was able to solder on the leads without removing the insulation with my soldering station set to 750°F.

I wound a bass humbucker using each gauge, and they sound the way I expected those models of pickups to sound. I've been using mostly Elektrisola for a while now, which I like. This wire feels a little different, but winds as well and seems like equal quality wire. I didn't notice a difference in tone from the Elektrisola, but then I don't hear a difference in tone from different brands of wire, as long as the insulation's the same build. Might be different for guitar pickups.

I'm used to paying $18/lb for Elektrisola, so this is obviously more expensive wire, but seems very high quality none the less.

I have a large Roll of 42SPN Red Essex, it's cheap, & I like it as good as anything I've tried.
It's thin, solderable and makes great Humbuckers, and Single coils.

Essex is good. I have a few rolls of Essex and a roll of Phelps Dodge too!

I bought several rolls of wire from MWS, the SPN was Essex, the PE was Elektrisola.
Not sure what brand the HFV was, it came from Mojo.
It's a good quality, and tough as nails.
I guess MWS just sells whatever they can get a good deal on at the time.

We took 5 identical coils and made 5 identical wire coils with the same
number of turns and layout step, using wire from 5 different bobbins
and got some sort of caliber stability test in the end.
Full tec results of which can be seen in the video and attached screens.

To Mr. Candy:

Did I see right, is the room temperature 30°C/86°F at the time the test was made?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

To Mike Sulzer, Salvarsan or whoever that would know:

How do I calculate the DC readings taken what should've been taken with a room temperature of 20°C/60°F?

Even more inquiring minds would like to know...

[Dave Kerr]

Well, here's how to adjust resistance for temperature exclusive of any change in tension associated with thermal expansion/contraction. You'd expect a coil tightly wound at 30C and cooled to 20C to be under a bit more tension, so that increased tension may offset the lower DCR expected due to lower temp from the formula in the link.

Yeah, well I only needed a ballpark figure... not engaging in any serious scientific activity.
