Does Anyone have a pic of Pure Vintage 65 pickup wire? looked al;l over the web- plenty of pictures of the covers that looks just like any other Strat pickup :roll: , but nowhere can I find a picture of the enamel coated pickup wire of the Pure Vintage '65 pickups.
If someone could kindly post a photo, I'd be forever grateful..I mean like 'What about Bob' grateful.
Reason being is I would like to compare the wire to the Custom Shop '65 pickups I own to see if there ios a difference.

Some articles and players claim the pre 65 pups sounded "better" due to being hand wound. I highly doubt any of the custom shop pups are hand wound anymore.....unless it is a serious masterbuild...but even then I could not verify. But since a 65 was machined wound anyhow that would not be a big factor...granted even machine wound could be "scatterwound" if hand fed.

I also can't find a pic of just the wire but 65 Strat pups look like this...

Also this is a good article on the CS 60s and 65 pups... http://areyouexperienced.net/fender_cus ... ckups.html

I do not appreciate your lazy or ignorant " help" here ; you absolutely do more harm than good to my effort ; Any serious person into this has ten million better pics of the Custom shop 65''s and the magnet wire than the crummy pic you posted- they are plentiful!

We all know all the posts about the Custom Shop '65's, they are famous.

DID YOU READ MY POST???....

DO YOU HAVE A PIC OF THE PURE VINTAGE '65 MAGNET WIRE??**&%!!???

..stick your nose where it belongs, and stay out of threads that are over your head.

OK, well, my bad..but you should put more effort into the verbiage on your posts- it was very ambiguos.
Yeah, that does help to see the actual wiring on a real '65 pickup, although its easy to find on the web.

the real authentic original 65 Fender magnet wire in your pictures looks the same color as my Custom shop '65's.

The main question is now, does the reissue 65 pickup have the same "enamel coated wire " as the original 1965 Pre-CBs pickups and the Custom shop '65's?

WE can determine that if and only if someone posts a 'gut shot' of the magnet wire Pure Vintage '65 Strat pickup!
PS- judging from internet information, the Custom Shop '65 is 'Polysol",whatever that is.

Who are you to decide how much effort I put in or not? I explained that I could not find a pic of the wire by itself but had pics of 65s. As far as what they use now I am sure at least with CS pups they still use enamel coating. But for all we know the wire is not quite the same and like everything else probably comes from China.

I was trying to explain that it really will not matter as the windings are what is going to make it sound like a 65..and the magnets more so then concerning yourself with what a tiny 42ga piece of magnet wires looks like.

Well here....according to Fender....enamel coated wire. http://www.fender.com/parts/pickups-pre ... 37000.html I am 100% certain there is no way they are using the same wire they used in 65 but if the pup sounds great...who cares? Will it sound just like an original 65? Highly doubtful.

hopefully this horse isn't dead, so I can smack it around a little still..
I have been trying to see a picture of the Pure Vintage '65's were, to see if it is the same Polysol bright copper colored wire as on the "Custom Shop'65's, which rere only availablecon the Custom Shop Fender 1965 replica guitars .
They are both listed as "enamel Coated", but form what little I can see about the new Pure vintage '65 ( see picture posted in this thread), the wire is not the same as on the Custopm Shop 1965 replicas guitars but is the same darker type "enamel coated" as on the Custom Shop '69's, which is far different than the "Polysol" wire on the original Custom Shop '65's that came only on the 1965 Custom Shop Guitars.
IT isn't, or does not appear to be the same as the Custom shop '65's that were sold with the Custom shop guitars and had the bright copper Polysol wire.
As some of these new Pure Vintage '65 pickups become available used , then we will know for certain.,
Not 100% certain. I am not gong to buy a whole set just to be sure yet. This is uncharted ground.

Look, I left you a direct link to Fenders website that clearly states they use enamel coated wire on the pure vintage...here is the link again in case you missed it last time http://www.fender.com/parts/pickups-pre ... 37000.html


So that mystery is solved unless Fender is lying. I would think in all logic that these pure vintage pups are not the same ones they use on the Custom Shop 65 reissues but it seems no matter how much you ask here no one has pictures of the wire Fender used on them. Why not just email Fender since it seems no one on the entire internet knows for sure either? Granted I had left you another link to someone who actually tried to investigate this and even left sounds clips http://areyouexperienced.net/fender_cus ... ckups.html for some reason when I did this for you it was not good enough and you blasted me and personally attacked me asserting I was being lazy, ignorant, and somehow doing harm to you. Here is another link that might shed some light. If it is not good enough for you then all I can do is apoligize for trying to help.http://www.fenderforum.com/forum.html?d ... ber=701035

Are you by any chance forgetting to take your meds?

I think you've probably always been a "member", even long before you joined this forum.

No, I took my meds, but ya know what Bucky? I hope you're in love, seeing as how you're so all shook up about this!
Actually you have been helpful, thanks , and I apologize for being rude.
By the description of the new Pure Vintage '65 pickups as having "enamel coated wire", I guess they mean its the same wire as on the Custom Shop '69, which is also listed as "enamel coated wire", but is a much darker wire than the "Polysol" wire ( is this also technically "enamel coated"?) found on the Custom Shop '65 pickups.

Anyway, since we're on an internet forum, I better say I'm sorry in a way that's more sincere;

000100100101010110001001010101.
101001010011111111100000101101010101010.
001000011111010101010100100101.

Thanks.

They use polysol coated magnet wire on many pickups including the tex mex and even american standard I believe.. But according to Fender as stated on the pure vintage 65 and the custom shop 69 they use enamel coated. Not sure why it would be a different color though but chances are Fender did not lie or make a mistake in their catalog.
