Source for open style humbucker bobbins?

[David Schwab]

Methinks he wants to make a pickup that looks like something like a Duckbucker- but with 2 offset, half-length coils.
Instead of using 2 full coils, he would saw out 3 "cylinders" from each bobbin, and wind the coil around the remaining 3.
Or maybe not.
I don't know if he'd have trouble drilling the tapped holes to accommodate A5 rods.

The Duckbucker has two full length coils, but only half the pole pieces installed. The vintage rail is the same way:



The coil is wound all the way around.

But I agree, he wants to do a split coil pickup.

AAAaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, okay. I thought you were talking about open covers and closed covers, thinking the bobbins themselves were constructed differently to use covers or not. I guess I jumped to that because I have had people ask me questions like that recently not realizing that the cover was really the only difference. My apologies!

No need for any apologies. I think you just probably misread my initial post.
I do the same thing all the time

Thanks all!

Exactly right!
