(then the mosquitoes, then its the cold and snow again - there is about a 2 week window of ideal outdoors weather here a year

built my first pickups...
A while back I ordered two HB pickup kits and a Tele bridge pickup kit from Stewart Macdonald.
A few weeks ago I wound up a humbucker and the Tele pickup. I tried them in one of my home made Teles I had a set of EMG;s in. I liked the bridge pickup a lot but I wound another HB and decided I wanted that guitar a dual HB after all (I have two other teles with tele bridge pickups).
The bridge pickup reads 8.3 K ohm with the neck one at 7.6 K ohm. They sound really clear and crisp, the neck one is warm as hell to boot.
It was a fun and fairly easy thing to do, but I wouldnt want to do a lot of them.
I didnt wax pot them, but they are fine and dont squeal or anything.
Just something else to try!
