i am sure I remember Tim saying he only included it in the spec because it was expected
my understanding is the wind will vary based on the resistance of the spool of wire used in order to get consistency out of an inconsistent material

Not that I would ever misrepresent or sell faulty goods knowingly but when I sell on Gumtree, I know it's buyer beware and no returns.
So if you found that some AWG was under size (higher resistance per length) it may be used as something in -between AWG42 and AWG43, maybe even coming in under the metric size that sits between those two (often called AWG42.5, which is used for Cold Sweat Neck/Black Dog and Rebel Yell neck)
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Basically you have no idea what the output will be from the DC resistance alone.

Totally agree. I'd rather throw the pickups in a skip than deal with this kind of shit.

But your response confirms I am not misremembering that they grade the wire according to actual readings of the spool itself, not just the stated AWG.

Why don’t BKP label their stuff?
to pool knowledge, wisdom, tricks, and to keep occasional rants and gripes within a defined space.
both sides cheek by jowl so people can compare and contrast experiences and (potentially) make sense of how to get the best from it.
I've learned never to sell pups on ebay unless I quote the exact measurement (buying a multimeter) or to distance myself away from or caveat the manufacturer website specs, which possibly have a tolerance.
I still don't have a clue about output v resistance though :-)

It means no returns if the buyer just changes their mind. But if the buyer says the item is faulty or not as described they are eligible for a refund. eBay will pretty much always side with the buyer where there’s any doubt.
