I like how you used the copper foil. Assembly is much cleaner that way.

I've never seen how the pickup is being made, now I feel like completely educated! This is a good one, thanks!

Thanks for sharing the gauge I am looking into making pickups of my own

Sounds great you obviously have quite a talent for making pickups as well as playing guitar itself.... playing the guitar is definitely the reason I am on this planet ...but iam more of an extreme metal enthusiast and am curious how your pickups sound and react to high gain distortion thru a double rectifier boutique or tube amp and to modern deathcore techniques like wild artificial harmonics and harmonic pick scraping ECT... Also I have some ideas to add to the pickup formula to push the envelope of that in your face metal tone

I guess “from scratch” means different things to different people. Pickups I have made from scratch were ones that I designed and fabricated the entire pickup including making the spools, winding, and assembly. If you just buy all the parts, you are really just winding and assembling them. After doing this a few times I decided that I really had nothing to offer that I couldn’t buy for a relatively small amount of money and that it was more trouble than it’s worth.

Yeah, I can understand what you're saying

He still built the pickup , it's not assembled , thus built .

You don’t have to Mill your own wheat or raise your own chickens to make a cake from scratch though. That’s my thoughts

Great video, but I am confused about one thing, maybe I missed something. If you connect the red and white wires together to use the whole pickup as a humbucker, how do the two coils connect in series?

@coilsboutiquepickups Ай бұрын

Hi, we connect the green and red together. White and red are the start and end of the coil

Hey, can you give me a little help? I'm trying to recondition an old "mini humbucker" pickup (similar to Seymour Duncan's "Everything Axe"), and I'll follow this tutorial. I'll be using something around 42 AWG copper wire, but my question is: how much wire do I need to use to get at least at 9k ohms? Preferably 10-12k I'm asking that because the wire is sold by every 100m, and I don't know if that will be enough or too much 😅

Thanks for the video! I’m currently leaning to make the pickup myself. Your video really helps me a lot. However, I’m still little confused on where wire I should solder to the which copper wire. You said in the video that the wire needs to be soldered in to their designated copper wire. But what exactly are those designed places? For example. For the slug coil. Which color of the wire should solder to the starter copper wire and which color of wire should solder to the finishing copper wire? Thanks a lot!

@coilsboutiquepickups 3 ай бұрын

Each pickup manufacturer uses different color code for the wires. If you are building your own pickup, just remember which wire goes to which coil start/end and then solder them according to your preferred wire scheme.

I broke a pickup awhile ago changing the magnet and this looks like the answer to the problem I was having - using copper tape to attach the 4 conductor wire to the bobbin wire. Although I also have another problem - my bobbin is covered in tape goop covering the wiring, is there a way to remove old goop from the coil windings?

@coilsboutiquepickups 3 ай бұрын

Maybe a piece of cloth dipped in some naphtha will do the trick..

@adonikam1 9 ай бұрын

Designated spots for wires need to be explained.

It looks like he took 1 color of wire to the beginning of his windings and 1 color of wire to the end of his windings. Soldered them to the little copper tape tabs. The soldering connections make them “electricly continuous.” The tape applied at the end, so they don’t short out is “isolating “them. It’s hard to go into a lot of important details in a few words. I’m wondering-where does he get the bobbins and screws …etc. ?
