| Butyrate Humbucker coils--from where?
Hello--I'm Dave and I'm new to the forum. Does anyone know where to buy Humbucker coils made from Butyrate? I understand that Butyrate was what the original PAF's were made of. I've seen that some Large manufacturers of pickups tout some of their PAF Clones to be made of Butyrate. I wonder where they get them??

| well....
if they have the money they can get anything made exclusively, all it takes is deep pockets and you can have anything you want made here or China or Korea or Japan....

I brought some bobbins down to a local plastic injection house today to ask for quotes, if I have my own mould made. I asked for quote in whatever material they're currently made from, and in Butyrate as well. I wanted to know how many I'd have to buy to get them under $1 per pair. I should know in a week or so. |

Well the real truth is that most of what a hobbyists can buy is all the stuff thats not top of the line, alot of it is pretty cheesy garbage, its like stuff they are overstocked with and trying to get rid of. Tele base plates are a good example, no one sells any that are decent at all. Guitar Jones aren't bad but they don't really fit in tele bridge plates for some reason the holes are in the wrong place and alot of non-essential holes added. Fralin has his made and probably everyone else that has the bucks to fund decent parts.

It was the tooling cost that prevented me from going that route at the moment... If you can handle the tooling cost, it seems like a great idea.

You might be able to get some help with the tooling costs, in exchange for getting put on a "wholesale price" list.
