It is just that some of my customers want that kind of hi-output humbuckers. I've only made singlecoils up 'til now and some PAF's but want to change or expand a bit. So it is not for my personal interest.

Thanks mate! That's a good site! Gah, I really don't wanna get in to producing my own bobbins. That takes to much time!

Thanks mate! But I couldn't find anything other than Gibson stlye bobbins and Alnico5 magnets on that site!

Come on you guys! I've searched like crazy but I can't find a place to buy ceramic magnets..

Hi! Sometimes when I wire my pickups I get this phenomenon, which I cant explain, the wiring becomes uneven. And it becomes uneven so that it is impossible to correct it while wiring the coi. It is kind if hard to explan, so I draw a picture! The red is the edges of the coil wire, hope you understand my problem!

Yeah, I simply did not kink the wire inside of the bobbin. Instead I soldered it to the lead wire outside of the bobbin and taped it on to the bobbin. It worked really good!

Problem Fixed, thanks anyway!

I'll build you a single coil including shipping for 50(dollar?)

Hi, you guys! I would wanna try to resemble a x2n humbucker. Correct me if I'm wrong on the specs. Two blade polepieces and a Ceramic magnet. About 15,8kOhm resistance! But I don't know how many turns it should be on each coil. About 8000 turns or something? Where can I find blade polepieces and bobbins in which they fit? Also I would want to know were to buy a Ceramic magnet. StewMac only sells Alnico5 magnets.. Thank you in advance!

Hi you guys! I've sort of a "problem". I've read a lot and I understand that it is common to kink the lead wire inside the bobbin in the beginning before the coil winding. So you kink the lead wire along the bobbin (like 1" or something?) and the cover it with the lead wire? But that gives me a result that is not satisfying, it gives an uneven winding of the coil and you cant get as many turns either. Do you guys have any smart idea about what to do with the lead wire? Thank you in advance! /Cal

So I should actually have like 1" of the lead wire laying inside of the bobbin tgether with the coil wire? Couln't that couse some trouble, the coil wire might snap? It sounds dangerous to me!

Thanks man! I was able to find it now, kinda embarrasing! But only one of my bobbin has that square in a circle hole, only the one for the polepiece screws. But may it ain't to difficult to figure out how to do on the other one then.. Thanks a bunch!

Hi there! I've built some singlecoils over time ad now I'm trying to build a humbucker for the first time. So I bought a kit from StewMac.com And in the instructions from StewMac it says: 4. Wrap the end of your 42AWG coil wire (#1462) around the exposed end of one of the black lead wires. Solder the coil wire to the lead wire — the heat of the solder should melt the poly-coating off of the copper for a good solder joint. Poke approximately 1" of the black wire through the “square in a circle hole” on the bottom of the bobbin — from the inside of the bobbin out through the bottom (the bottom of the bobbin has four round mold marks). Kink the black wire so that it lays against the bottom of the inside of the bobbin. I don't understand the bolded part that well. Maby it is because of my poor English. What the hell is “square in a circle hole”. Could someone explain more accurate how I'm supposed to do with the lead wire! I'd really appreciate it! Thank you in advance!
