So if I have this right, thinner wire like 42AWG creates more resistance, which naturally has more bass and mids than 43AWG wire and equally, the hotter the wind, the more bass and mids you get.
42 awg = thicker gauge = less resistance
43 awg = thinner wire = more resistance
to reach 10k, for example, a 42 awg humbucker must be overwound as f*** to the point the wire wouldn't fit in regular sized bobbins, and tonewise, it would sound very dark and bassy
a 10k humbucker with 43 awg wire, (I suppose that's what the neck nailbomb is) would have a lot less turns and should be bright as $%&#
the miracle man is 45 awg poly, that's why it's wound up to 18k and still has a ton of high end
the nailbomb is 43 awg enamel and has a lot of treble as well, but must be very asymetrical to retain that kind of top end
the black dog is 42.5 awg polysol, like the neck cold sweat, and unlike the VHII, which is 42 awg enamel, but as it's heavily overwound the high end rolls back nicely
the vhII is even more overwound, but the coil offset holds the mids back a bit and boosts the top and low end
also, the vhII has the long magnet, like the nailbomb and mule (black dog is short magnet, like the riff raff and the neck cold sweat)
not sure how big is the tonal difference between a short magnet pickup to a long magnet pickup, but I suppose the long magnet makes things slightly punchier
