How to Splice Magnet Wire - Guitar Pickup Enameled Wire Splicing

Method that Rob DiStefano of Fret Tech and Cavalier Pickups taught me years ago through our ongoing correspondence on TDPRI. I used to tie the wire around to splice it, like making a knot, but I've suspected this to cause issues.

In the past, sloppy wire splices have caused a darkening of the pickup tone. It's unclear whether this was due to increased capacitance. But it's happened a number of times. I haven't had that issue since using this method, for what it's worth. It's the cleanest and fastest I've tried. Once you've mastered it, you can splice even the smallest of wires.
