Does anyone have any links on how pickups are made. A how to make pickups document would be great.
 
Stewart MacDonald sells a book called "Basic Pickup Winding", which seems a good starting place. They also sell a pickup winder, pickup coil wire, and they have a free pamphlet called "How to Wind Pickups."

Personally, I would never bother with this, as there are people out there who know a lot more about it than I want to know, but if you want to do it, spend the money to get a book, which is probably much more in depth than a website will be.

It's a tedious process. The wire is thin and breaks easily and if it does, you have to start all over again. Happy Windings, Grinder
 
I am more looking for theory than to actaully build one, although that is not beyond me to try it.
