How to build a humbucker

A start to finish guide on how to build a humbucker from scratch.

Looks so easy. Imagine doing it all manually. No power tools. Great video, man.

Narration sounds like it was recorded during heroin overdose.

I am not sure someone who never made a humbucker could make one from this video. Well I guess they could make one but nit sure if it would come out okay. I will have to watch again. I didnt catch which directions each bobbin was spun. I guess it doesnt matter. I caught you say out of phase so I guess they are opposite of each other. I mean that makes sense hence the humbucker quality. How about polarity? The slugs and screws are polarities are all in line with each other? So lets say the poles are niorth up then that means the south bar magnet is facing the slugs?

That was some intricate and patient work. Very impressive!

Nice informative video Alex. I now have a few sets of your pickups and they are great. Your Old Timer PAFs are the closest I have got to a Since I’ve been Lovin you tone of all the ones I’ve tried - even my early PRS McCarty. And superb value too.

Sir how you connectd the wires? any one can not understand what you do

[juanilloJMTV]

Nice Video Alex, do you insert the magnet the same way in both, neck and bridge humbuckers pickups?? or do you introduce it in the opposite direction?

[ALEXONLIFE]

Can you answer this for me please. Are the bobbins wound in opposite directions. I know the polarities will be different due to the single magnet its its tow orientations but should the winding direction on one bobbin be clockwise and the other anti-clockwise. Thanks you.

hey dude ! nice videos ! :D one question. Is it necessary to pott wax humbuckers ?`

[TheMiggsxr]

Do you sell that red tape? Or where can I get it from

[tepsartofficiel]

Good work mate! How many turns did you give ?

[hrsey]

is it possible to repair a stripped pole screw? the screw itself is ok, but where it screws into is stripped.

I've got no idea what's going on here. Where's the other end of the wire? The point of this video is to show how to make a pickup but you can't see what's going on! Fail.

That was a very harried video lesson. I could not see any of your wire placements due to obstruction of the camera and your taping was messy guy... what's up wit dat? What if the owner want to remove the covers to show the cool pups? C'mon, I think you could have done a better job at this video... Just friendly observation.
