You won’t find any pickup manufacturer who will reveal his “secrets”. Otherwise they would counteract their voodoo magic, which was specifically hyped for industrial marketing.
On the other hand, I am not afraid to show you the different steps of my handwork.
Which kind of pickup am I goin´ to make?
Selecting from different kinds of magnets and matching them. (alnico5, ferrite bar, ferrite slugs, FeSi-blades or steel-rods with alnico5 or neodym)
the procedure of making pickups – coils
finish work – the pickups´s getting ready
Since the first epoxy layer that surrounds the coils is extremely thin and leakage from the pole pieces cannot be prevented, the front must be covered with well-sealing copper foil so that as little epoxy as possible gets onto the pickup surface.
The copper foil is removed after the epoxy has cured moderately.
Finishing – no voodoo, just meticulous work!
The wires get connected to the pickup-cable and the cable´s shield gets solded to the copper-shield of the pickup-cover for opt. ground and max. noise avoidance so that “noiseless pickup” lives up to its name..
quality assurance – conventional or C-switch (6 different capacitors) or mixed
finally for sale!
