I can’t see well and I’ve never used eBay. Or, if you make a set we would be glad to buy them directly. Thank you! I have my Tele and a 12 string Epiphone acoustic for now. I love what yall are doing. I just want a pair of Humbuckers for my Strat. And take your time. !

    Awesome job Cathy I saw Scared My Guitar Video First... Personally I love ceramic pickups for heavy metal. They have more aggressive tone.. for clean tone yes Alnico.. Theses nothing wrong with making mistakes that's how you learn. Eddie Van Halen Won a Piano competition as a kid without understanding music theory. Classical piece... He experimented & practiced & became one of the best guitarist of all time... The pickups are awesome...

    I once rewound a microphone balun transformer. The mic wasn't mine and I'd looked inside it. The balun fell out and snapped off its tags. I replaced the tags with panel pins. I reeled off the wiring on to a sewing machine spool, then spooled it back, all using a model electric motor I had at the time, that I set in a jig for the spool and transformer. It was all the size of a sugar cube, with *very* thin wire. To my surprise it worked 1st time but I wouldn't want to do it again.

    Crazy that the DCR on the originals were 15Kish, ceramic magnets & heavier gauge wire (40 Gauge). If it helps any as a general frame of reference for P90s, the Neck is 8.2K & Bridge 9.3K with what others claim as Almico V magnets for the Epiphone P90s on my LP Special I. No idea what the gauge wire those have. The Gibson P90s are +/-8K'from what I recall their specs as indicated. Team Scar for the save & win for this Indio teardown & rebuild. Trey sounded great as usual for the test drive & lap around the track. There's another P90 pickup product out there, Wolftone P90, that come in mean, meaner & meanest options for DCR/wind counts.

    Too bad those neodymium fridge magnets from your previous experiment were a bit too wide, they probably would’ve worked great in that build. A good set of P-90s are a thing of beauty. I’ve got some great Duncan Designed ones in a Squier Tele Custom II which are killer - other owners of that model have said they did a pickup swap on it, only to put the originals back in, they’re that good. Your pickupectomy on those cheap P90s sound very good. Would love to see Cathy do a set of Strat-sized versions of the Burns Tri-Sonics.

    FYI...P90's are basically just single coil pickups, but flat & wide vs tall & thin. That raises the magnet's field around the strings. You might want to raise your regular single coil pickups to see if that gives a more P90-like tone (more output, but lower "top end" in relation of mids & bass frequencies).
