Alnico 2 "Porker Neck" pickup, wound to 4k6 with 40awg Heavy Enamel wire.  A bunch of fat juicy pork in the neck position without the muddies.  Gets a little of that Charlie Christian tone without going to a blade/bar magnet setup and 38awg wire.  Makes a nice pair with my A4 P-90JM!

A nice 10k Broadcaster style bridge pickup for Tele, 43awg plain enamel wire, black hemp string wrap, raw steel baseplate.  Flash wax potted, a really nice versatile bridge pickup for Teles, but especially great in an Esquire!

Sweet 52's Jazzmaster Set

A nice set of Jaguar pickups that feature weaker Alnico 4 magnets and a mild overwind to get more mids and bottom end while maintaining all the top end clarity and detail.  No icepick treble, just smooth twang and soul.

Sunday Handwound Alnico 2 Woodchime Jazzmaster Neck pickup with JM-Broadcaster Bridge pickup

A test of a set of WRHB-alikes in Jazzmaster covers, Alnico 2 rod magnets under the covers and FeCrCo 2 threaded rods exposed.  First part has them with 1 Meg pots, second has 500k pots.  I am loving the clarity and huge WRHB sound with the 1 Megs.

An improved take on Firebirds, thicker steel plate adds some lows and really gets things sounding sweet.

Sunday Handwound Firebirds

A nearly Jazzmaster pickup in a humbucker format shell, .531" magnets help make up for the taller, narrower, and lower turn count coil.  it is almost a JM and just as sweet.  The bridge pickup is a prototype for a nearly P-90 voiced humbucker.  Together there is some pretty serious magic going on...
