Aircoils:
Same identical construction as Burns’ 1960s.
This is specifically done using a rectangular removable former like the one used to make the Red Special pickups.
The magnet wire used is a custom made 44AWG plain enamel wire. The resistance per foot and outer thickness of the wire are the closest to the original samples tested. This has a huge impact on the frequency response.
Maniacal attention to detail has been paid to the winding phase, taking into account variables such as copper wire tension, speed, turns per layer/density and total number of turns, as well as the overall shape of the air coil.
Everything is then hand-wrapped in cotton tape with the same characteristics as the original.

Baseplates:
Each baseplate is hand folded.
Thickness and dimensions are exactly the same as the originals.
The material used is uncoated steel, just like the vintage ones.
Baseplates are only used for bridge and middle pickup.

The neck pickup has no baseplate, just two legs welded to the inside of the cover and held together with epoxy/araldite.

By removing the metal base under the coil, the pickup delivers a unique sound and response.
This design creates a wider magnetic field, capturing more string vibration while reducing neck inductance.
This is the key to the unmistakable signature tone heard in Bohemian Rhapsody and other songs that use the neck and middle pickups out of phase.

Covers:
Custom-made Deep drawn chromed thin brass material with the same dimensions and look as the originals.
