If machine wound is better...
What factors is the machine wind affecting, and what is the desired result?
Now, I don't have an auto traversing machine winder available, so all my humbuckers have been hand wound, and thus I don't have a point of comparison. Is the scatter wind that I end up doing by hand guiding the wire creating a less clear tone? I have played some commercial pickup made by the two big boys, and have found that so far, my winds have better harmonics while retaining tonal clarity.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, but really want to know what we are comparing, and what differences have been heard. If I really need to pony up for a autotraversing winder I will, but I can't see the magic just yet.
