stevenh Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I'm seriously considering getting into making my own pickups. I've seen the kits and the pickup winder in stewart mcdonald's catalog. Is this a very difficult process, and is it possible to find a used pickup winder. Thanks for any help and suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Alex Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 (edited) I've made 3, not too hard, just keep ENOUGH tension on the wire! that said, not too much either. I keep my first on the shelf to remind me, it's sagged in the middle and looks like it came from my dogs ass. those pickup kits stewmac sell I feel are rather expensive(that said they do have very quick shipping so come in use), I have no memory of what it was called, but there is an online shop that sells stuff for making pickups, even kitsets as memory recalls.(I found it on google a while back while looking for P90 kits if that helps) as far as a winder goes, well it's not hard, if you wanna make heaps, make a motorised winder. but a 3:1 hand drill does a good job and quickly too. ooh and I forgot, next time use search!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
