Pickups Home built fix?

[popsaka]

Hey folks.... I'm tryin' to decide on a treb/brg pos pup and bein' nearly always "long on time but" etc.(no dough) I have the honor of attemptin' ta utilize my pile of orphan pups, hopefully not all junk!

I have an old Gibs p90 that used ta live in that pos but I can't stand the need ta stand 'North by northeast three degrees ta port, give or take' any more! ;D
Has anyone ever "home built" a stacking coil for a p90 w/ any measure of success?? I also have a fender type (or two) w/the 6 mags fer poles... these are nice an brite if I could jes gettum ta shut the f**k up!! Has anyone ever just added a coil ta fix this phenomena?? thanx in advance

pops,

For the sake of winding coils, you might wanna pay attention to Pete, over in The Great Sustainer Project topic:
guitarnuts2.proboards45.com/index.cgi?board=wiring&action=display&thread=1136497404

That is now running to 5 pages, so you've got some "light" reading to do.


For adding extra coils in other places that might work to kill hum, but might also cost a bit more, try this topic on for size:
guitarnuts2.proboards45.com/index.cgi?board=wiring&action=display&thread=1180737331

Follow all the links to previous topics, some of the info is not directly quoted going forward, but is often referenced later on. It's a stiff read, but you might get an idea or two from it........

Let us know if this is the direction you were thinking of going, or if something else is tickling your funny bone.

pops,

From the main index page, scroll down to the Hobnobbing with Harbaugh section, and click on Gallery. As for tweaks, those are spread all over the place, they're kind of topic-dependent. If you're looking for something in particular, try the Search function (upper-most menu, just below the main banner).

Also, here's another topic vis-a-vis your question above (I couldn't find it before, don't know why..... ): Zero Hum Strat coil
