I did not draw this one.  I am however trained to draw in CAD and have done so for a living doing AV design.  It has been a handy skill for making guitars because I can work out dimensions and assembly virtually first before building.  I also spent years as a tech on a bench doing electronic repairs (before people began just throwing stuff away).  You live long enough, you end up doing lots of things like even building instruments and pickups.

My stuff is pretty boring.  Like this drawing.

8000 winds by hand is painfull and near impossible, I tried it and even I lost count at 5903 or was it 5908?

and then I found the pickup was tangeled way back and i hadnt noticed.

(it worked but was quiet as ususal.. wax potted it an all... though ugly) 

there is a great book on pickups vailable at amazon with a picture of a 50's truck on it full of pups.. a great read

also the back of the semore duncan catalogue is usefull on the diffrent sounds etc and windings etc.

It is an art form for very patient and very careful people....mind you my telepone cable and lollypop one worked ..just!
