Derek Duncan walks us through the process that helps pickups be less microphonic.
Derek Duncan, custom shop manager and Seymour’s son, shows Bohlinger where the raw materials and components are kept-all inspected as they come in before they are put on the shelf. He also explains how the company kept pickups shipping out through the pandemic, except for one month. After the stock room, it’s off to magnet wire testing, then production planning-a two-person operation that processes incoming orders to plan which pickups will be built when. Next up: the custom shop, where we see NYC bass pickups in process, followed by a stop at the magnet grinding operation-where Derek also started working for the company-and the magnetizing station, where alnicos get their charge. At bobbin assembly, raw materials are tuned into components for use in the winding process. Some ultimately get dipped; others get a wrap of tape before moving along. The winding machine, by the way, was purchased from Gibson’s historic Kalamazoo operation. Then it’s on to pickup assembly, and, from there, we get to see the wax potting procedure. Lead wires-two or four, depending on the pickup-then get soldered to bottom plates.

Wax potting & cloth not plastic covered wiring are hallmarks of the best made electric guitars.
So hold a lighter to your pickups to get that Jimi Hendrix sound. 👍👍
Milligrams of Mercury??? Is he drawing up a dosage?
EVH thought he invented it.
he made that claim, I don't think it's true.
I only have pickups that are potted with wax rendered from Virgin Tyrannosaurus Rex an I can tell you that they are superior to any known pickups.
This guy has no idea what he’s talking about, which is sad since he’s working at Seymour.
😅 Because he got the unit of measurement wrong when talking wax potting p'ups? FFS, lol. 🤦🏻
