After ten years of wanting to try pickup winding but never finding the time I've decided to finally make it happen. (Thanks to Jason Lollar for his book and inspriring this interest many years ago on ampage, I'm finally going to put together that winder 
)
For this first attempt I want to keep it simple and do a tele bridge pickup. I like the sound of the seymour duncan antiquity II and it's a well known pickup so I thought I might be able to use that as the model for my first attempt. Unfortunately I know very little about what I need to do to make one similar to it. I know it has:
- alnico 5 magnets (I think). Length? Diameter?
- a ferrous baseplate. Material? Thickness? Does that contact the pole pieces or is it insulated from it?
- it's wound to 6.4k but which wire gauge?
Any help filling in those question marks would be appreciated. The SD website also list an inductance of 2.1 henries and a Q of 2.05. I have an L/C meter but I don't know if that info is of any use to me. Any other specs or tricks I should be aware of?
