Couple of new Pickups I built

[automan]

I have 40, 42, 42H, 43, 44, 45H and 46. The 46 is really freakin' thin!

I have a boatload of 44 because I was going to use it for a project, but didn't end up using it.

What is your real life experience with the sound of the thinner wires all else things equal?

I have been making my tele neck pickups out of 43 heavy formvar with alnico 2 poles at 6800 winds of pretty high tension and they sound awful good. I'd like to play with thinner wire with less winds and a bit shorter bobbin and see how it sounds.

With bass pickups, I often like to use 42 for the neck and 43 for the bridge. The thinner wire accentuates the midrange.

Nice looking pickups. I've always liked cocobolo, except when I have to glue it.

Nothing to gluing Cocobolo, just wipe with a little alcohol or acetone 15 minutes before gluing, takes out the surface oils and makes the glue penetrate like it was maple.

Yep, that's what I said back in post #8.
