Can you start winding with one gauge, tap and continue winding with another gauge of magnet wire?

Last Updated on October 17th, 2019

This can be done and I’ve often wound a pickup with 7800 turns of 42 gauge wire soldered to the normal finish eyelet and continued winding with 43 gauge wire either to a desired number of turns or a determined DC resistance. You need to add another eyelet for proper connections and lead wire connections. Often using a different magnet wire is used either for space needed or changing the resonant peak in a pickup.

Please check your items carefully and confirm they are correct for color, position, etc. We are not able to accommodate order changes or cancellations once you have completed the check out process.
