Any full metal covers need wax between the covers and the bobbins to stop the covers vibrating with volume and creating microphonics. You should be fine with just side covers.

This does look very interesting indeed. Keen to see and hear how things turn out.

Its offical pickup winding is way too hard and frustrating,
Yep, that's why I have never tried and happy to let someone else do it for me.Originally Posted by Adam Barnes

It’s definitiy one of those things you need to be properly kitted up for. I’ve thought about it, but I know it is not feasible for the FrankenLab.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Dont know what i was thinking that i could do it with a cordless drill. If you were going to make 20 plus a year buying a pickup winder might be worth it.
But ill pass this one of as a failed experiment.
Just ordered a set of lace nitro hemi mini humbuckers to go in, they should fit this build nicley
Well at least you had a go at it.
