How Pickup Wire Effects Your Tone: Number Of Winds

The number of winds play a huge part in the final sound of a pickup. The more windings you put on a coil, the higher the output will be. This will also translate in a higher K-reading (Ohm) when you read the pickup on a Multimeter.

So how does this effect the sound? As a rule of thumb we can say that more winds will give yo a warmer sound with less top-end frequencies. Because of that, underwound pickups will also give you a sound that is a bit brighter then regular wound and overwound pickups.
