Hand wound in the USA at the Dawgtown Custom Shop using only the finest top quality American made materials. Fender spec. vulcanized fiber (forbon) flatwork with nickel silver eyelets Right hand staggered AlNiCo 5 aged, hand beveled magnets. Wound with 42 AWG Heavy Formvar magnet wire of the highest quality. Nitrocellulose lacquer dipped bobbins provide the build up needed to prevent the chemical reaction caused by the magnet wire in direct contact with the magnets that literally destroys coils from the inside out. 90% of the vintage Fender coils I revive suffer from inner coil corrosion due to direct contact. Thoroughly wax potted at 140 degrees F in 80% paraffin / 20% bees wax — from my own organically raised honey bees — see last photo — they approve of the use of their wax and like ‘em turned up to 11. 11″+ of aged vintage style cloth push back leads. Threaded Bobbins Assure Trouble Free Installation. Why Scatter Wound? There is a reason that transmission lines are not run parallel with one another — and that the telephone pole has a nice wide “T” at the top…. To Prevent EMI — electromagnetic interference. This applies to guitar pickups as well. Automated winding machines lay each turn parallel to the previous turn in a very uniform pattern causing much signal “bleed” or EMI resulting in compromised tone qualities. This is greatly reduced by an irregular or “Scatter Wound” coil having much overlapping with “air” spaces between the turns. Leo Fender proclaimed that “No machine can wind a better sounding pickup than a good hand winder”. These old school scatter wound pickups produce a wide spectrum of inner coil capacitance due to intentional variations in wire tension and wind pattern and re-create those vintage tones that only a hand wound pickup can deliver. Buying vintage is always a crap shoot so hand wound is the only way to be sure you are not burned with someones worn out trash. I am in my 50s and have been doing this for many years so I have seen my share of corroded vintage coils, many, too far gone to restore. After all you have invested in your skills, instrument and various equipment, do you want to settle for anything less than the absolute best pickups available? Why sound like the average player when you’re not? For that matter, why sound like everyone else playing that mass produced factory junk when you can have the classic, vintage look and sound you are after? There was a time when “Made in the USA” meant superior quality and craftsmanship; at the Dawgtown Custom Shop, it still does. These High Quality Pickups Carry A Lifetime Warranty — I am a one man operation so I know they are built properly from the ground up, assuring a lifetime of service. This set is wound to 1959 specs with the added benefit of a reverse wound/reverse polarity middle pickup for hum canceling in position 2 and 4. True Vintage Pre 1960 Non RWRP, All North Top Polarity Sets Are Also An Option. Although it is widely believed that Fender changed from north to south around 1958, there is data that supports that it was more likely around 1960.

The Bloom Box fuel cell system is a much better, or at least more reliable, alternative to solar power as a green energy source.a Bloom Box for the residential market could be out in 5 to 10 years for under $3,000. That’s a big improvement from the $800,000 box of today, but only time will tell if Sridhar is being overly optimistic. And in the coming years, big name competitors will probably catch up to Bloom with cost efficient boxes of their own.

Bloom Box reportedly proved twice as efficient as traditional power sources and produced 60% fewer emissions.According to the Guardian, Sridhar’s work draws on his research on generating oxygen for Nasa’s missions to Mars. Oxygen is drawn into one side of the cell, while a fuel, such as a natural gas or bio-fuel, is drawn into the other side. The two combine within the cell and produce a chemical reaction that creates energy without any burning or combustion.

They have just been too expensive to be viable until now, and Bloom still has to prove that its box can produce energy at a cheaper rate than other power sources. The box also produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct a potential downside depending on how much it generates.
