Well after so many PMs regarding these,er, like NONE, I've decided to give every body the shits n show em anyway.
The bobbins I made out of scrap maple from neck builds. Not a lot of fun but after I did the bridge one I thought I should do a neck one as well. The bridge is 53mm and the neck is 49.2, I started out with A2s but went with A5s in the end. Both were wound with 5,000 turns of 42PE. The bridge is 8k, the neck 7.65k. The idea was to try n get some single coil type of tones that the old pafs are said to have, regardless, until now I've never wound up a humbucker that I came close to wanting to keep and as for the neck, mud city was all I ever got. This set is just what I was after, clear and clean, some very P-90ish tones can be found all over the volume pot sweep, the neck pickup sounds really good and because of that so does the middle position. The bridge is everything from clear clean to yee haa.
I'll record up a clip one of these days but don't hold your breath.
The bobbins are a pig to make although the second lot were easier. These ones are also unpotted, they make no squeal at all. I had them adjusted real low at one point and I was getting some squeal due to the springs I think but adjusted up they are well behaved. Out of all my Marshall clones, the super lead spec is no question the best for these. With the JTM spec the bass was horrible even with the bass off.
The 4th pic shows how much taller the bobbins are than a stock Mojo one. The guitar is made from Northern ash and I call it the Woody.
Hope you like. Cheers.
Clips added. The first clip starts with the neck pickup in Am, then in Em we go to the middle position and then the bridge which you will hear.

The second clip may be a bit bright for some, that's just the way it turned out, you can obviously adjust the tone on the amp but listen to the clarity of the chords. This is all the bridge pickup on volume 7.
