It has long been argued that hand wound pickups sound better than machine wound pickups. Something called the skin effect of the random winding pattern lowers the resonant peak of the pickup resulting in a more pleasing high end and a vintage warmth.
Not too long ago Nordstrand was very lucky to be able to purchase a very high tech Tanac computer controlled winding machine. This machine allows Nordstrand to program every wind of wire in the coil. They have taken advantage of the power of this level of control and programmed a simulated hand wind pattern for their replacement pickups. This allows them to repeat, coil after coil, the same warm vintage sound of a true hand wound coil without having to actually wind it by hand.
