Tele bridge/p90 hybrid pickup

[Peterg]

First time poster here.

I started making pickups a few years ago.

I'm working on 2 Tele bridge/p90 pickups. One will have ceramic mags and the other will have Alnico 5 mags.

specs:
ABS bobbin. Mag holes filled in with plastic rod, drilled and tapped to accommodate pole pieces
42 awg wire, 10,000 turns, should be around 7.7 kohms.
M3 x 23 chrome pole pieces
ceramic or Alnico 5
steel keeper
nickel base plate

The mags and keeper bar needs to be glued down to the bobbin. What type of adhesive would be best? Two part epoxy?

Please post some pictures of your hybrid P-90 application?
Normally P-90s use a baseplate, and no need for gluing.
For tele bridge pickups it is easier to use a standard single coil or use a humbucker.
There are bridge plates for both SC and Humbuckers.

I’m using Fralin Steel 42 pickups for inspiration.

The first photo shows the mags and keeper without a baseplate. The second one is with the back plate. Unlike a P90 or HB there are no sides on the baseplate to keep the mags in place.

I like photo one.
Make sure you orient the magnets the same.
One pickup N||N, the other S||S.
Instead of Gluing, just Pot the finished pickup in the wax pot.
