Pickup Pole Screw Carbon Content

But I am not interested in making any other changes. I'm satisfied with things as they are.

That doesn't fit with your original post does it ?

When I couldn't get 1010 screws that fit, I quit. I am not interested in swapping back to Custom Buckers and doing this all over again. I am satisfied with where I am now.

I wouldn’t change a thing either! IF you do decide to tinker with thing again, IF the sound changes, or you begin no to like how it sounds, then I would also like to hear your results. But, if you have it where you like it.....if it ain’t broke...

It ain't broke.

Jon Gundry has published every single detail, an in some cases almost too much data regarding his research into the PAF.

www.pafhumbucker.com

He is an amazing historian and custodian of this information. Put on a bib and dig in.

What is your point ? For the 8,000th time, metallurgy regarding a PAF has come up. I must have a short term memory issue.

OMG, I feel so disciplined and stupid. Thank you giving my life direction.

You do know there were two iterations of that site ? The original was much more in depth. Maybe when my Adderal wears of
and you become remotely interesting I will dig up the cached site where Jon goes seriously in depth.

Inductance.

They drafted you?

Thanks to those who were interested and made a useful contribution to this thread. I am happy with the configuration I have now and have nothing else to say on the subject so I am bowing out.

It is about resonance.

harder alloy = brighter tone

4 words, 1 symbol. As simple to remember and utilize as 4 words, 2 symbols:

dark clouds, rain, umbrella

However, there are 2 points where CHANGE in hardness of alloys achieves desired resonance, which will result the desired tone of the guitar.

There are alloys in pickup. Resonance is electromagnetic.
There are alloys in metal hardware. Resonance is mechanical.

Pretty simple. Electric guitars were designed by craftsmen. No groundbreaking new technology was invented for the purpose. It only used certain alloys and achieved the resonance they evaluated as tone they want. That is why there are SEVERAL different alloys used not just one.

Want that tone? Replicate resonance. Replicate alloys that create that resonance. Without replicating alloys we might end with 50+ years of not having the original resonance = original tone replicated. Wait ... we just did.

Why? Are we all ... kindergarten children playing house?

I agree that harder alloy is brighter. However one might put softer steel and like it over harder alloy. So that’s purely a matter of perception on tone. There’s no such thing as build a guitar all the same and everyone will agree on don’t change a thing. Otherwise all guitars would stay stock….
