Threw together this pickup comparison of my handwound humbucker and P90 vs. the EMG 81. Quite different sound but it was the only commercial pickup I have handy.
The Tuuli hb is sort of made for blue/rock and the P90 is a higher wound for rock/heavy.

There's a stuttery effect on Line6 M13 (not sure if M5), that you can program the rhythm to.

This came out 27 years ago and it's still way underappreciated. A beast of a mean sounding album.

Thanks guys! I'd honestly be intimidated to build anything for someone else for money. I'm just doing these for fun to relax.

Dropped out of nowhere. I actually (gasp) like it. Very kill'em'all.

Tele 3 is sold.

I'd like to hear the wind on an Alnico 5.
I can make a clip of the neck pickup, it's A5. It sounds surprisingly similar to the bridge.

Western Red Cedar not nice. Spanish Cedar (classical guitar necks) is one of the best smells in the world. This one took me forever to carve because I kept stopping to sniff the neck
Still haven't finished French polishing it
Yeah it smells good. It just makes me itch like crazy.
-
Ah, zebrano. Smells like cat piss when working with it 😖 Fortunately the results are worth it as it looks fabulous 👍
Hmm, I never noticed any smell from it. Cedar, now that's an irritant for me!

The "mistakes" one makes when doing them by hand vs. industrial machine doing every turn exactly the same will change the sound. Since the coil is wound with gaps between the turns it'll have more treble, less output, more complex and unpredictable sound. Impossible to get two to sound exactly the same.
-
Looks awesome! What's the fret board made from?
Thanks guys! It's zebrano. Very similar to maple as material, needs to be finished with lacquer or oil like maple.
-
that is a great sounding pickup!
have you checked out AlNiCo8?I'll get to those eventually! These are just the first two pickups I've done ever. But I do have a sort of method/ideology of how to make these.
I have a hunch that lower output pickups with high gain settings will sound better than high output ones with lower gain. Simply because the more winds you have on the coil, you start to get more compression and lose some high end.

Not a guitar, but latest build is this obscene thing.

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.
