Still messing with All of Me. Getting to know the song better and better. I am up to being able to do a more learned improv up to the first Dmin from there... I just noodle.

Wound my first coils for pickups. Here is how it went. The first coil did GREAT! I got 3.92k on it! For what I was wanting, that was ON IT! Second coil.... not as well. Got a 2.7k out of it. Put the two together and I would be only slightly more resistance than a Fender single coil and would lose a noticable portion of the humbucking effect. Before I unwound coil 2, I figured I would try again on a different bobbin. That one I got little to no reading on. I figure it to be the lead wire that I messed up on. You know... the one UNDER then coils. It was getting close to dinner and I had to get across Atlanta (for those of you around here, you know what that means) so I called it a day and will go back in a few weeks to start again on those two coils. Good news is, I got one coil done GREAT!

(For the winds, I used Stew-Mac humbucker kits. They came with AlNiCo 5 magnets which I may switch to AlNiCo 2's. I used 42ga plain enamel wire)

Other good news is, I believe the owner of the luthiery school I was winding pickups at (the owner is a long time friend) will provide me the facilities to build my guitar as well as pitch in as a partial ghost builder of my guitar! The owner has been in the loop of my design since i started drawing it up. Now that it is complete, I figured it was time to show him the complete drawing. He was VERY happy with it. Hopefully, soon, the templates will be cut out. First step is a prototype. Not sure how long that will take, as it will be done in our spare time... and we don't have any of that.

Anyways, that is all for today.
