Sorry if the topic it's not that fresh, but the search function did not answer my questions.
So, tall coil: more space for more windings; short coil: less space.
You have a tall coil using tall mags, or using thin flatwork.
You have a short coil using short mags, or using thick flatwork, stealing room for the wire.
Using the same number of turns, the short one will end up in a fatter and thicker coil, while the tall one will be slimmer.
Let's discuss about:
difference in sound
difference in volume
difference in resonance/harmonics
difference in overall "beauty" of the sound
(ah, I'm talking about bass-oriented pickups... maybe for a guitar it's completely different)
