Building Pickups

[Hotrock]

Woohoo!

After finding someone that sells all the parts (in the links section of all places - should have looked there first I suppose ) I'm planning on winding my own pickups. I want 2 humbuckers, both to be coil tapped and both need to have the blues.

Unfortunately though, I haven't got a clue as to what parts I need. Wire, magnet and bobbin I know, but what else do I need? I don't want to break the bank, but they need to be good quality.

I also know that I need to build a winder, so don't worry about that.

Chjeers guys!

hmm well one of the nicest blues pickups i ever saw had multiple windings on a humbucker that let you select the coil size . it was baically like an actual coil tap to use half the coil [ie not coil cutting] but this came with like a six or twelve way switch.. and let you play with the coil sizes. you had the first six were coil a and the second were coil b.. prestty nice..

That pickup must have looked like an octopus with all of the wires hanging out of it. That's a cool idea though.
