HELP! Rewinding Maroon Stacked Humbucker

[JenJam]

Hey guys I'm in need of some assistance. I am currently refurbishing a bunch of old/used guitar pickups two of which are stacked Seymour Duncans. The wire has broken on only one coil (for both pickups) I was just going to rewind just the broken one but thought about just redoing the whole thing just so they're the same. Does ANYONE know how many winds for each coil. I made a stacked pickup last month with 3500 winds per coil. Would you say that's enough or too much for a Seymour Duncan?

Thanks soo much.

Also does anyone know of a good site where I can get this type of info for future references not only for Seymour Duncan pickups but other brands too? Greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!

I am not aware that Seymour Duncan makes that kind of info available. You might be able to guess in the ballpark by seeing the type of wire, and measuring the resistance.

there isnt really a source for that info. im not sure what wire they used on those pups but i would say wind the coil till its full with whatever wire you have, unless you have a decent variety, and put the same # of turns on the other coil. ive made dozens of pups but never a stack so cant give much more guidance

That’s way too little for a stack. Stacks experience a lot of low frequency cancelation. So they are typically wound very hot.

That’s probably wound with 43 gauge wire. I’d guess the bridge pickup probably has at least 5,000 turns per coil.

I did a stacked Tele pickup. Wound 5,500 turns of 43 on each coil. The series resistance was 11.36k.
