WF082603-PJT5O

PAJATSO is an Experimental Workshop Finds humbucker created to explore how asymmetric coil construction and unconventional winding geometry can shape the electrical and tonal response of a humbucker. The South coil contains 6500 turns of 43 AWG solderable polyurethane wire, while the North coil contains 5500 turns of the same wire. Connected in series, the coils produce 12.48 kΩ DC resistance and 4.22 H inductance. The intentional 1000-turn difference between the coils gives PAJATSO an asymmetric electrical character, while the experimental winding process adds another unique element to the construction. Both coils use AlNiCo 5 bar magnets, with gold screws on one side and gold slugs on the other. The measured magnetic field values across the individual pole positions provide PAJATSO with its own distinctive magnetic geometry. The Picoscope measurements reveal an unusually broad resonance, with the series pickup reaching approximately 3.8 kHz at no load and maintaining a remarkably wide response under 250k and 500k loading. Its exceptionally broad resonance and low measured Q create a smooth, expansive electrical response unlike a conventional sharply peaked humbucker. With its black matte bobbins, brass baseplate and gold open frame, PAJATSO combines experimental engineering with a deliberately luxurious visual identity. It is a one-off exploration of what happens when familiar humbucker ingredients are arranged in an unconventional way. Every note hits a jackpot.
