Remington Industries’ 105°C plain enamel and formvar wire is trusted by experts for its smooth winding performance and consistent tone. Commonly known as pickup wire or guitar pickup wire, this high-quality magnet wire offers excellent insulation and conductivity for winding electric guitar pickups, coils, and other precision components. Available in multiple gauges, it’s the perfect choice for projects that demand clarity, reliability, and true vintage character.
Understanding 105°C Plain Enamel Wire and Formvar Wire
Both the plain enamel wire and the formvar wire in this category are rated for 105°C, providing dependable performance for low- to moderate-temperature applications. This collection includes 42 and 43 AWG pickup wire; our wire resources can help you determine which one you need. The plain enamel (NEMA MW-1C) and formvar (NEMA MW-15C) coatings offer distinct insulation characteristics. Plain enamel wire is suitable for tight coil layers and maximum fill while formvar wire offers superior abrasion resistance and slightly thicker build. Whether you’re replicating classic pickup tones or crafting custom designs, our enamel coated copper wire and our formvar pickup wire both deliver exceptional consistency and sound quality.
Formvar and Plain Enamel Wire for Guitar Pickups
Our formvar pickup wire and plain enamel wire are favorites among guitar builders seeking authentic, vintage-style tone. These wires are often used in single-coil and humbucking pickups, where insulation type and wire gauge can dramatically influence the sound profile. Builders choose Remington’s heavy formvar wire for its reliability, tonal warmth, and easy handling during precise winding.
