RogerF Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I purchased the Gibson USA SG Tribute in natural walnut and it’s unequivocally excellent, however I have a question re: the pickups. Why are these wrapped in some kind of plastic tape? I have not been able to find an explanation for this anywhere online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 If its around the windings it is probably secure them and protect them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mihcmac Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Yes, the black tape is there to protect the windings on the bobbin, otherwise the windings would be too fragile to be exposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
