When the coil wire snaps….

Ex-Vintage Telecaster Bridge Pickup

This is what happens when you’re winding a vintage pickup and the 40yr old spool of vintage 42AWG decides to act like a cranky old man, losing its temper and snapping.

Result: 4000+ turns of coil rendered useless in an instant.

S***t happens as they say.
