Wildfire pickups - I love the sound of that. Mind if I make a few Callum? Naming rights indeed Stan. All this before I've even touched any wire! Ha!!
cheers,
Gav.

Haha "Up the Creek"!
Firestorm sounds cool and it's not on my list!
hi guys,
Finally received 2 rolls of 42-AWG from Stewmac. Now we are ready to rock n roll! I just need to find a spare 2 hours to get this "Firestorm" signature single coil set started! The first pickup will be the guinea pig to get all the resistance measurements done. Hopefully I can measure every 500 winds or so. Or should it be more frequent? Only a bit of experience will tell. To be honest, there isn't much point measuring before the 3K, 4K or even 5K mark, so it would be useful to know about where this starts.
cheers,
Gav.

AWG 42?
Crickey. That's is apparently 0.063mm in diameter. That is significantly less than 3/5's of 5/8's of a SBBH*.
You won't want to put much tension on that!!
* SBBH = Standard British Ball Hair
