ansil Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 well personaly i like the neodym type rare earth magnets myself. did you know that if you ask people like seymour duncan for some dead pickups to practice on he will hook you up. i asked him for a friend of mine some time ago, and i got like half a dozen or so dead pickups that i canibalized and started with and he also gave me a list of places to shop for the other parts u mentioned. anyway hope that can help somewhat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotrock Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Not the link on this computer unfortunately (works laptop) but over at Ampge or ampage, I can't remember which is all you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Mailloux Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Go on www.ampge.com, these guys carry evereything to build pickups. The owner of this site furnishes pretty much everyone on the pickup builders forum with their supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefm Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Well I suppose if they're headed for the trash anyway... Bobbins are hard to find and magnets can be pricey....so getting them for free would be plenty nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
