Got some 42 AWG wire from Stewmac and their humbucker kit. Did one Alnico5 pickup out of curiosity to see how hard it is. It was a PITA to be honest.
But got hooked anyway, since it only takes half an hour to make a humbucker, and sourced parts for more locally.
Here's the ceramic humbucker I built in high gain context against the EMG 81. Disclaimer: gain has been adjusted between the guitars, since the handwound passive is relatively low output.
