What are insulation s used in guitar pickups?
An insulation is a material that keeps conductors isolated from each other such as plain enamel or formvar on magnet wire to keep the turns from shorting out, or rubber insulation on extension cords to keep the electricity from shorting out with each other. Insulation can be copper shielding in an instrument to help keep unwanted electrical interference from causing problems in your instrument and all insulators have dielectric properties or any medium through or across which electric induction takes place between two conductors.
