Some guy in my city posted an ad in craigslist about wanting feedback and R&D help about creating his own line of handwound pickups. So being the gearwhore that I am, i emailed him about 7 and 8 string pickups. He said he was interested and would only need to find someone somewhere that was making bobbins or to use pickups that i already have for a template. So i'm gonna meet with him and we're going to go over things, if it works out, we may have someone in canada willing to do custom pickups and bobbins. So possibly passives with active spacing and crap. good times. wish me luck.

He should go the rewind route, which is what Wolfe does for us seven stringers. Sourcing the raw parts is incredibly expensive when compared to sixes.
