Pickup bobin dimensions

[safas]

I am designing a double neck non-peddle steel guitar and would like to wind my own pickups. Can someone tell me where I can get the pickup dimensions? I realize the length is determined by the number of strings and the string spacing but how high and how wide should the core be? I do have some basic dimensions from one of my other documents but since I will need to make my own bobbins, I need some more details. Any help would be appreciated.

Just make it anyway you like. You don't need to follow a certain size. Make up your own pickup.

I agree with Dave. When I first started winding, I used standard bobbin dimensions and go OK results. It wasn't until I played around with my own ideas that I got something I liked. You may end up with a holy grail.
