What are the pro’s and con’s of potting a pickup?

Last Updated on October 17th, 2019

The important thing with potting pickups, if done right, it will help keep the pickup from feeding back like a microphone at higher volumes. The downfall of potting pickups is if it’s not done properly, your pickup can be ruined. Wax that is too hot can distort the bobbins which in turn can make the pickup sound bad. Too much heat can demagnetize the magnets and if the pickup gets too hot, the wax can drip out and off of it.
