Rod Magnet Bridge P/U Project

[mr fab]

I've made a lot of neck pickups with A5s.
Now when I make them for myself, I usually use A3/A5, with the A5s on E & A.
IMO the A3s have a warmer tone on the high strings.
I've also quit buying .187s, I like the the .195 and larger.
Whatever you like and what works for the player!
Rock On,

I have made many rod magnet humbuckers.. for the bridge I use around 9000 turns with 43 wire per bobbin. the smaller gauge fattens the tone up enough and the pickup still had a clear edge without slicing your head off.

hope this helps

I already built it, and it works great.
I used some small 42 I had.
It's fun to build and try new things.
Thanks Alberto for posting your info and pictures.
