There's alot of ways to mod them. Pole sizes, wire size, amount of space for coil. My one bobbin was bad so will order a new one along with a sss set and a pick guard so I can have a preload hss and a preloaded sss on hand
Yeah, I have a very good friend that gets paid quite well to make pickups and boutique amps. We went to school together. He dropped out and was a roadie and then guitar tech to some pretty famous people before moving on to do what he does now. He probably has enough money to retire, but he's still taking orders.
nice doing what he loves. maybe ill get lucky one day who knows but i surely had fun hand cranking and hand windind the pickup. my goal is to find all the ways one can adjust beyond wire size,coil wraps,and magnets used. me and another feller had lots of talks about coil sizes wire usage magnets diameter, magnet type, magnet shape, coil wind direction. lots of information on pickups but not alot written down its almosat like a oral class.
I haven't read any, but search for "guitar pickups book" and there are plenty of options.
