Post by: genocidal tendencies on January 12, 2007, 10:34:36 PM: 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.

Post by: Davey on January 13, 2007, 01:03:37 PM: 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.

Post by: _tom_ on January 14, 2007, 11:04:56 AM: 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 :?

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!
