pickup building

[joker944]

Whats up, I have already looked through the site list here but didn't really see anything. I need a good diy site/links for building your own pickups and the fact that I have never done it before I need one that tells all. And if anyone has a book on it for sell or could tell me of a good one to buy. Thanks

Also if anyone know where I can here sound samples or bite of diff. brand pickups other than the seymour duncan website. like everyone else (probably I have heard everything there many times.)

I set up a cordless hand drill rig and have wound/rewound about a half dozen p/ups with it. Kinda crude, but it works alright. From what I understand, the book by Jason Lollar is extremely helpful for the beginning p/up maker. I'm thinking of tracking down a copy myself.

The Jason Lollar book is very complete. Last I heard it is out of print.
