Big Thank You.

[Kesh]

Just finished making and installing my first pick up. A precision pup. Not only does it actually work, (which would have more than satisfied me for a first attempt) but it sounds f---ing great.

Anyway, I wanted to shout out a big thanks to the people that helped on this forum, with my inane newbie questions: big_teee, David Schwab, copperheadroads, David King, Stratz, Ward, Sonny W and several others. Couldn't have done it without you.

And thanks to the forum, will be donating.

Good job!
What type of magnet wire did you use? Plain Enamel?, Poly?

[Kesh]

Dual coat polyester. 42 AWG. I never understood what "poly" meant with magnet wire. Is it polyvinyl formal (Formvar), polyurethane, polyamide, polyester, polyester-polyimide, polyamide-polyimide (or amide-imide), or polyimide. (Thanks wikipedia)

They come in red. Probably looks amateurish, but first attempt, etc.

Cool looking pickup.

As far as magnet wire insulation:

MWS Wire Industries - Insulation Specification Cross Reference Table

If it doesn't say formvar, or plain enamel, it's one of those listed. Usually some kind of poly-something-or-another-nylon.

Looks fine to me, esp as it's your first one. Well done.
