The DB Pick-up Winder

[Andy40]

You have a lot of projects on the go there Marcel

And who says men can't multitask...lol

I have a big shed Andy, so it is more a case if one project hits a wall then there is always another sitting nearby ready and only waiting for more of my time...

I used my winder about a dozen times with no issues, perfect for straight forward winds.
Then I upgraded to a Schatten winder with all the bells and whistles and have used that a grand total of two times...
To be honest, whilst winding your own is fun the expense of importing decent wire, bobbins and magnets then with the time spent pfaffing around making, potting and cleaning up after it just simply isn't worth the hassle.. especially when I can get custom wound pickups made to my specs for around the $100 mark that made mine sound like Mariah Carey singing under six foot of wet concrete with a mouth full of dry Sao biscuits...... with the auto tune switched off.

That's certainly a picture there DB..... Concrete and Sao....

It all depends on what you are chasing after... Having any success in doing it is one thing, getting a consistent quality result can only come after a lot of practice with success.

And that is why I get mine made now.. I just don't have the time to put into winding, too busy doing repairs and builds

Here is the PUP holder again. Nicely slimmed and now sporting a hole drilled in the centre.This is to allow movement of the holder along the motor axle for fine tuning with the guide at the other end!


Four humbucker screws attach the aluminium bracket to the PUP Holder - Note to self! Need to remember to replace those screws or the humbucker ain't going to stay in the guitar too long!

The side nut attaches the aluminium bracket to the axle of the motor. Again adjustable! :P

Where can I find that aluminum bracket?
or Can you send me the link to buy it?
