Description

Q Pickups “Air Core” DUMMY COIL is designed to be wired with an existing magnetic single coil guitar pickup. Its purpose is to remove 50-60Hz cycle hum / buzz associated with single coil pickups.

For a dummy coil, the important value is not the DC resistance in kΩ, but the inductance in Henries. A coil can read high kΩ and still work poorly if the inductance is wrong.

The dummy coil should typically have an inductance equal to about 30–40% of the pickup.

Since most F-style single coil pickups are around 2–4 H, a dummy coil around 0.8–1.4 H usually gives the best balance between hum canceling and preserving brightness and attack.

Below that range, hum reduction becomes weak. Above roughly 40% of the pickup inductance the tone often starts getting darker and less dynamic.

  • Mini humbucker bobbin wound counterclockwise (CCW)

  • approx. 1 H / 3.5kΩ DC resistance (unless otherwise specified)

  • Black lead = coil start

  • White lead = coil finish

  • Coil wrapped with black paper pickup tape

  •  Dimensions: 64.7 × 12.5 × 9.6 mm

  • PVC hookup wires, 30 mm long

When wired in series with single coil pickup it will darken the tone by taking away some of the high freq.- wired in parallel it will increase the high freq. – both types of connections will ensure noiseless operation.

 

Each coil is built to order and shipped out in 3-5 business days, feel free contact us so we can adjust the inductance to match your pickups.
