What Are Hot Rails Pickups? | Too Afraid To Ask

This video was sponsored by Skillshare. First 500 people get 2 months FREE membership here: https://skl.sh/csguitars The only 'stupid questions' are the ones you are Too Afraid To Ask. "How are Hot Rail pickups made?" is the question for this TATA video. Let's make one and find out.
 
 

Going off the rails…

For the latest TATA video I chose a question from user Mixed Nuts on Youtube, who asked on a couple of occasions for me to explain Hot Rails pickups.

Since I had all the components necessary to make a 'Hot Rails' style pickup, and recently bought myself a new coil winder to facilitate the manufacture of guitar pickups, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to dig into what makes these tiny blade humbuckers work.

I've also taken on a new sponsor for this video, and hopefully future TATA videos too.
Skillshare wanted to get involved as they liked my educational videos, and I like their platform for learning new skills. They are offering 2 months free membership with the following link: https://skl.sh/csguitars
