Winding your own pickups

I think I might try doing this.

I don't have any specific questions or anything just now I just felt like posting a thread.

it's wednesday

dude did you build yr own pickup, or are you just unwinding the wire, and then replacing it?

I considered doing this a few years ago, but concluded that for standard single coils and HBs it wasn't really worth it. The results can be patchy unless you have the right tools, and for the time/money spent you can probably afford to buy Seymour Duncans. The only two types I'd be interested in making myself now would be either 1) one of those huge horseshoe magnet types like the ones on Rickenbacker frying pans, or 2) some kind of low impedance Alumitone/sensor (although that needs engineering and fabrication skills that I don't have).

xpost I haven't actually done anything yet but the idea is to be building my own bobbins and everything. My first experiments will probably just involve frankenstein work with the spare bits I've got laying around, but first I need to make some kind of winder...
