Noel, please add a link in &gt;Tech Support &gt;Glossary &gt;Sonic &gt;Aged sound &gt;*Aged sound fully explained*The pdf file for the link is in Sonistore &gt;Website &gt;Updated images ... it's titled Aged sound fully explainedReplace the existing paragraph with this one &gt;&gt;&gt;	Referring to specific old Strat pickups wound with Formvar wire:&gt; The tonal characteristics developed with the passing of time and the aging of certain elements within the structure of a pickup. Usually softened attack, less Ice-pick-in-your-Ear brittleness and lowered dynamic range which results in earlier breaking into distortion yielding a creamy distortion when overdriven and a sweeter treble when played clean. The aging I'm referring to is not the result of magnets aging. New single coils cannot be aged artificially in the same way since this can only happen in the fullness of time. However, certain things can be arranged in a single coil to approximate Aged tone BUT usually this results in some unwanted side effects (less harmonic richness). My Hx pickups have certain design elements that I have manipulated to replicate genuine aged tone. Ironic ain't it? That a high-tech noiseless design can generate authentic aged tone whereas a single coil has to wait 20 years to age naturally.
