42AWG Poly Nylon Enameled Copper Wire for Pickup Winding
Our 42AWG poly nylon enameled copper wire is the ideal choice for high-quality pickup winding in electric guitars, basses, and other musical instruments. Designed for precision and durability, this wire ensures excellent electrical conductivity and insulation, making it perfect for creating clear, powerful sound pickups. The poly nylon coating provides superior insulation and mechanical strength, reducing the risk of short circuits and wire breakage during winding.
This enameled copper wire is especially suitable for humbucking pickups, single-coil pickups, and other musical instrument pickups that require meticulous winding. Its fine gauge allows for tight, uniform coils, which are essential for achieving optimal sound quality and output.
We offer custom sizing options to meet your specific needs, ensuring compatibility with various pickup designs. In addition to poly nylon enameled wire, we also supply plain enamel and heavy Fomvar enamel wires, catering to different winding preferences and technical requirements.

The insulation is basically a coating that is wrapped around the copper wire, so the wire doesn’t short itself out. Variations in insulation materials have a huge effect on a pickup’s sound.
We mainly manufacture Plain Enamel, Formvar insulation poly insulation wire, for the simple reason that they just sound best to our ears.
The thickness of the wire is usually measured in AWG, which stands for American Wire Gauge. In guitar pickups, 42 AWG is the one that’s most commonly used. But wire-types measuring from 41 to 44 AWG are all being used in the construction of guitar pickups.
