When You're Cheap - Building Pickups From Junk Pickups::

[Inspector #20]

To me, all these things are like reading a good book - I can't put it down because I am so excited to see how it will turn out!

Half of me feels that way.

The other half wants to slap the fool in the mirror for spending the money...

You earn money with it and you can sell it for, at minimum, the range of your investment. I hereby absolve you of your guilt.

Hold on, I have many more sins to confess!

So, I ended up with two pickups:

#1 is 1/2 Artec Classic Standard, 1/2 Gibson Wildwood Spec, nickel-silver baseplate, long, polished A4 magnet, 42AWG, and measures 7.95k.

#2 is 1/2 Jackson/Seymour Duncan, 1/2 Gibson 498T, brass baseplate, long, polished A4 magnet, 43AWG, and measures 16.3k.

Both magnets are reversed to give it 180° out of phase in the #2 switch position only.

Thoughts????

@mcblink - It's #2 above...
