44 gauge Poly Nylon Coil Wire - 1/2 lb Spool

Poly/Nylon - 'Modern' Coil Wire - 1/2 lb Spool

This is the type of coil wire used for most of the pickups being built at this time. The copper wire has a single layer of polyurethane as the insulator with an overcoat of nylon.

Technical

44 gauge - Finer still than 43 gauge, this wire has a nominal diameter of 0.0020". Each half pound spool contains approximately 41,600 feet of wire.
