How the hell did you manage that?! :o
I hope they weren't BKP's or that coulda been an expensive accident! :lol:

According to this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKMYeXkYcgs&mode=related&search=), ask Tim to make you some pickups that can exceed the temperature of the sun, so that they don't melt if you play more than 4 million notes per second :D
-
as far as i know, only Tony Blair can wind those.
-
Try to put this pickup back into your guitar and listen to that wonderful Peter-Green-out-of-phase tone...
-
man, it would take me two years to re-solder all the wires together
-
I've never done anything with single coils before, had no idea the (in this case) white cover wasn't attatched to the actual pickup, so when I was fitting my slowhands to the scratchplate yesterday I got such a fright when I saw £59 worth of brand new, unused pickup heading for the floor with nothing but an empty cover in my hand. Didn't end up like that, though, thank God, but I was worried for a minute.

tis is a humbucker bobbin
-
please tell me it wasn't a BKP????:cry:
When I said try to scatter the windings - thats not what I meant !!
-
I think you better send it back to Tony Blair, he will know what to do.

Davy + Paul Gilbert impersonation + power tool = unhappy pickup

HOW THE HELL....?
-
LMAO
you guys are great..
no, this is not a BKP. it's an olde ibanez PWSND (that got PWND) that i had lying around.
took it apart to see how the windings are on the pup and damn.. that's some wire!.
i also found it interesting, how the same wire can be used and the winding process can make ALL the difference in the world.
-
Yeah, well my licks are so hot they made my pickup cover burn!

On a side note, look how much those covers aged whilst being sat in a shop window for about a year! You can see the original colour then theres the line where the pickguard was then the cream bit on top! As for the burned edges... I was just bored :?
-
wow.. that's cool

Ha, I find it amusing that after PG did that drill stunt, he got a phone call from the guys at Makita for a sponsorship!

I once built a pup winder out of mechano and a remote controlled car. You could always rewind it yourself.
