Gibson 500T and 496R questions?

[Tompa]

Hi,
I'm very new to this (winding, magnets, etc...). Does anyone know how many wraps there are on a 500T and a 496R (approximately), and what type of ceramic magnet, wire they use?
Thank you!

Id say they used Ceramic 8
its a thicker magnet not 1/8" thick is more about .187" thick with 2 spacer magnets on the outside of the poles & keeper
for the winds it should be pretty easy
Coil Estimator
& did rewind a coil on a 500t a while back but I'm away working so i don't have my notes with me
I cant remember if i used 43 gauge or 44 ,but I'm thinking it was 44
