min bucker question

[oldpicker]

hi all
1st time in this forum.
I have built a few projects using SD p/ups [teles] and I am branchig out.
Just bought a pair of p90s for blueshawk solid body.
I have been toying with the idea of using minibuckers in a blueshawk semi hollow body that is pretty close to pickup rout stage. I am after a diagram or a good description of what is under that cover. I have heard it is a rail type arrangement with no separate pole pieces. In particular how wide is the rail??
If in fact that is how it's built.
thanks

Re: min bucker question

Are you talking about the pickup mounting method? Or the internal pu construction? Mini's need a threaded bar or inserts in the body for the adjustment/mounting screws.

internal arrangement of the magnets etc. I want to know what is inside a early firebird pickup like the duncan mini. The one with no adjusting pole pieces.

There are no bobbins -- just bar magnets or pole pieces (depending on the design). You do not want to try to take the cover off: the coil is wrapped around the bar/poles and they will fall apart if you take the cover off.
