Hi I have a classic players 60's strat with the 69s, and my pickups have a weird substance on most of the poles. It looks almost like wax, I was wondering if it is some wax left over from when they were potting them. Whatever it is do you think it could affect my tone? I will probably scrape it off if it will, but I don't really want to bother if it wont.

Joe,

That's exactly what it is, wax from the dipping process. This buildup on yur polepieces is acoustically invisible and so, it won't alter your tone any way, shape or form. If it bothers you, wipe it off with a tissue. The wax nor the tissue wiping will hurt anything.

Thanks, I figured it was no big, but one time I got guitar polish on my pups and I could've sworn if affected sound. I guess I'll have to wait until I get a GOOD excuse to get some Texas Specials :D
