but a few days ago I became very interested in
making pickups. Guitar pickups.
 
Probably nobody here interested/ making them but
maybe I'll be surprised.  ?
As I'm currently gathering info before I dive in I'd like
to hear what you have to say about it.
 
 
 

Spacey Pups^TM
 
I like the sound of that!  (pun in 10 did!)

Not sure I can hit this mark Reece. Shifting through all the
opinions and ways of doing things...not to mention the
material...well I just started so it's going to take time to
sort this mess out.
But you've helped the beginning!

So what's next, strings?

Just be careful how you talk about it Spacey!  Saying you're working on your pickup lines might get you in trouble with your better half.  Just sayin'!

Great question Alex.....this guy got my attention- he travels around
to find stuff and that seemed like a fun thing to do.

Craigb you don't know how right you are! She gave me that, "how much
is this gonna cost?" look when I asked her to keep an eye out for my "pickup" books LOL.

Looks like assimilated guitars from star trek or something like that :)

I look forward to the journey 

Alex that's exactly what I thought too :) Borgs!
What I did get from them was a few knobs. One with the old TV style volume.

Wookiee I think this pup wrapping is going to be like a slow boat but
I think I'm going to make the trip. Nothing really saying not to right now.

I could be wrong but it seems like there is something about hand-winding
that makes better pups. Something about the winding not being "perfect" (machine)
making them better. That's gotta take some special skill...that wire is small.

Yes Borgs, couldn't remember the name
