Guitar Pickup Winding
Wind custom guitar pickups by hand on a coil winder, experimenting with wire gauge, turn count, and magnet types to voice the pickup for specific tonal characteristics. Uses the same coil theory from RF work, ear training to evaluate the output, and oscilloscope visualization to compare frequency response curves across builds.
