Tornade MS pickups are faithful reproductions of the vintage models, hand wound using the same magnets and wires (brand, type and diameter) than the ones of the golden era (50\u2019s-60\u2019s).<\/p>\n
<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\">This manufacturing process yields pickups that are more dynamic and expressive, offering better responsiveness to playing nuances and richer in harmonics than CNC-wound pickups (using automatic guidance).<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\"><span class=\"x_s2\">Technical explanations :\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\"><span class=\"x_s2\">Handwound doesn\u2019t mean that we manually make 8000 turns around the pickup, but that the wire is hand guided between thumb and index while the coil spins through a mechanical process, as you can see on the video above. That\u2019s how Fender used to make their pickups until Leo Fender sold the company to CBS in 1965. Since then, all the process was made through a mechanical process, for profitability matters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\"><span class=\"x_s2\">It seems to be a detail of no importance you would say, but definitely it does matter a lot! As a matter of fact winding with a machine creates regulars and tights loops while hand guided winding will, on the contrary, make wide and irregulars ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\"><span class=\"x_s2\">The more the loops are tight, the more the circuit\u2019s capacitance will be high. Handwinding a guitar pickup will lower that capacitance, which, as a result, will increase the frequency bandwidth around the resonance peak.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\"><span class=\"x_s2\">In the end, a pickup wound with a machine (C.N.C), will provide poor harmonics and, most of the time, will sound harsh, pretty much like the actual production of telies and strats pickups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\"><span class=\"x_s2\">Nowadays, parts used for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tornademspickups.com\/micros-humbucker-paf-59-2\/#more-75\">P.A.F 59 replicas<\/a> making, are mainly produced by Asian countries (mostly China) and, to a lesser extent, by the U.S.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\"><span class=\"x_s2\">U.S parts are 4 to 5 time more expensive than the Asian ones. It goes without saying, that Chinese parts are made with higher tolerance margin, unlike the U.S ones. By the way, a few U.S manufactures, are still using the 50\u2019s-60\u2019s production methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\"><span class=\"x_s2\">All the pieces used in our pickups (screws, magnets, coils, wires etc) essentially come from the best\u00a0<span class=\"x_Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>U.S manufactures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\"><span class=\"x_s2\">At Tornade MS, we are particularly attentive to the parts selection, in order to constantly improve our production, and provide the best sounding <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tornademspickups.com\/micros-humbucker-paf-59-2\/#more-75\">P.A.F 59 replicas<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\"><span class=\"x_s2\">Don\u2019t hesitate to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tornademspickups.com\/contact-2\/\">contact us<\/a>\u00a0for any further information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tornade MS pickups are faithful reproductions of the vintage models, hand wound using the same magnets and wires (brand, type and diameter) than the ones of the golden era (50\u2019s-60\u2019s).<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tornademspickups.com\/en\/home-3\/a-propos-2\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span class=\"readmore\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">In regards to<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":20412,"parent":17943,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9569","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.4 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Tornade MS pickups are faithful reproductions of the vintage models, hand wound using the same magnets and wires (brand, type and diameter) than the ones of the golden era (50\u2019s-60\u2019s).
