Hi Brenda,
Haven't done it myself - though it really has my interest - found a few sites:
http://designed2wind.alphalink.com.au/

told me a lot; Jason Lollar's site:
http://www.lollarguitars.com/mm5/mer...ckups-articles

has interviews with him in which you can learn a lot. His book is out of print, by the way. Then, of course, Stew-Mac has raw materials as well as kits for diy pickups.

Not true--you can order the revised 3rd edition on his website.

I still cant figger out how and where to attach the wire initially on the single coil pickup.

Can anyone come up with a vid that actually shows someone with no skills whatsoever and has never done one before, how to wind a pickup?

There's a whole bunch on Youtube, some better than others. Just search "pickup winding".

Oh so you wrap a few times then leave some extra lead and solder it to the one eyelet... then wrap 8000 times or so and solder the other end to the remaining eyelet?

Wow. If that is so then I am slow.

check any of preeb's strats or teles threads for a detailed process

fezz parka · February 22nd, 2011, 09:42 PM

You just loop it through two or three times. You don't solder until you attach the leads.

It would be a funny as hell but cool invention to get me some steady-state cardio by attaching the pickup winder assembly to a stationary bike!!!

Need that cardio!!! I can't be the only fat bastage out there. Who's with me!!!
