Jason Lollar is the acknowledged master of custom electric guitar and bass pickup winding. In 1998 he wrote and self-published the definitive book on the design and construction of pickups, with a complete set of instructions on how to build your own pickup winding machine. In 1999 he published a second edition, updated with modifications based upon the experiences of other pickup manufacturers.

Inside you will find everything you need to know to be able to wind pickups just like the man himself. He shows you step by step all the tricks of his trade, from gathering materials, to making your own pickup winder, then winding the pickups yourself. He even includes a glossary of suppliers so you can order every single part you need without having to hunt them all down, and shows you how to make pickups for Strats, Teles, P-90s, Humbuckers, and Jazz and P basses. He is incredibly thorough with detailed explanations and pictures. Topics covered include magnetic materials, pickup resistance, covers, bobbin design and construction, pickup re-winding, modifications, potting and much, much more.

If you want to learn how to make pickups the way the best in the business does it, this is the book you must have on your shelf. 62 pages, comb bound
