Re: Why NOT scatterwind?

Mark Hammer | Re: Why NOT scatterwind? Probably depends on the dimensions of the bobbin and how scattered the scattering can get. Lower profile bobbins will constrain the angle at which the wire can be wound and the lateral spacing between windings (i.e., how much further up or down the polepiece the next winding is placed). I can see that there would be many contexts where there is precious little DCR difference because there are fewer degrees of freedom available in the winding (e.g., a "scatterwound" Jazzmaster coil), but I can also see some contexts where there would be. In those latter contexts, scatterwinding could increase the DCR noticeably more. Clearly not by 20% or anything that outrageous, but enough to make a difference I suspect. But hey, I've only made a couple or 3 dozen pickups in my life and some of you folks have made hundreds if not thousands more than that. |
