Spence	Re: how to make pickups Stick at it mate. I got into it because I was sick of paying good money for average pickups to go in my custom guitars. I opened my fat mouth and said "Ah sh*t! I'll make my own bloody pickups....no problem". Well there were loads of problems and quite a bit of money invested, hair pulling, sobbing and beer-dinking. Still, I'm a stubborn sort and got there in the end. The key is not to offer your services as a pickup manufacturer too soon after making the first one....you might end up looking daft!
