Pickup Coil Tape
Build or repair pickups with these authentic '50s parts! Pickup Coil Tape is used to wrap and protect humbucker and single-coil pickups.
5951 Black paper "flat-back" tape, 1/4" wide x 59-feet long.
Used to wrap humbucker bobbins after winding. Also used to cover solder joints of lead wires.
5952 Black cloth tape, 3/8" wide x 32-feet long.
Ideal for wrapping a humbucker after it's been assembled to protect the bobbins. Can also be used with single-coil pickups to protect the windings however, this is not "vintage".
Example: Use conductive foil wrapped around the windings to reduce 60-cycle hum. Wrap the coil with tape, then wrap the #0036 1/4" Conductive Copper Tape over the tape and connect to ground.
