42 gauge pickup winding wire

This is the wire you'll use to make the pickup for the $10 Electric Guitar (Project 13). Each card has one continues length of pickup winding wire in two 135-foot coils. You'll have enough wire to 1) screw up once and still be able to build a working pickup, 2) make a single pickup with twice as many windings as the one described in the book (and thus a "hotter" signal), or 3) make two separate pickups.

Price includes shipping, handling, and PayPal fees.

How many?

Coming Soon!

I'll be adding the first listing for project supplies later this week; thanks for your patience!
