GENERAL : Q/A
The 42 and 43 wire gauge are used in the design application for the guitar pickup. They are very small, next to one strand of a human hair and are very fragile. You can’t apply too much tension or tug on them too hard. Actually, the smallest  surgical sutures are about the same size but are much stronger than your coil or magnetic wire.
You also need adequate amount of light and close up interactions throughout the entire process with the wire and the components. The white background provides better visibility because of the properties of the  UV spectrum. This is one of the reasons why I use  white towers and white bases  in most cases. This is not really the place to discuss this but I am working on a manual which should be out very soon. The steps are not too difficult, I was able to wind several bobbins on sewing machine when I was a kid. Now I am providing you with a machine to do this. Please don’t blame the machine, don’t give up if you fail on  the first trial, do your home work and prepare yourself mentally. I that believe that you can do this.
WIRE OR COIL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE REGULAR GUITAR
The ways in which the guitar pickups are designed over the years are pretty much the same concept and approach.  The model will not change, and there is nothing pending. If you increase the number of turns around the magnets, the resistance in the coil will increase. In addition, the distortion frequency will also kick in.
L = 2 (2.5) inches = the length of one side of the bobbin
1 revolution or one full turn
=
5 inches or 4.5 inches
number of turns
=
6000 x 5 inches for a normal guitar pickup. The bass guitar: 10000 turns
total length
=
30,000 inches
12 inches = 1 foot
12x
=
30000 inches: solve the equation for x
x = 2500ft
5280ft
=
1 mile
5280x
=
2500ft
x = 0.473 miles x 3 =
1.420 miles
or
2.285 Kilometers
for the 3 bobbins:
REMARKABLE
1 mile = 1.609 km
1.420 mile = 1.609km
x/1.420 = 1.609km
x = 1.420 x 1.609 = 2.285 km
It will be a monumental task if you try to do this with your bare hands given the requirements and the characteristics of the wire. Not practical, don't see it happening.  You need this machine.
When you acquire the skills you must tabulate all your data until you find a unique frequency or tone you like.
No modification request at this point in time. This requires  going beyond the specs of this unit. It is also time consuming and in most cases imported parts are required to  finish the projects.
No per-assembled units. Again, it is extremely time consuming and requires basic skills which cannot be acquired overnight or  just in one step. Basic soldering techniques are required and the use of a digital  multi-meter  to  measuring electric current, voltage and resistance using ohms Laws and having a good general knowledge on how the components are laid out on the circuit board, how they function and how electrical current or charged particles flow through them. You may have to troubleshoot which will require theoretical and  practical application,  extensive knowledge and hands on experience with a wide range of electronics components such as: transformers, dc motor function, solenoid or electromagnet magnets,  magnetic field, capacitors, transistors, diodes, resistors, reed switch, the application of a single and double throw switch, infrared sensors, heat sinks, the integrated circuitry application. Once you damage one of these components or wire the circuit board incorrectly  and fire the electric current in the opposite direction or even use a brute force approach to speed up the process may cause irreversible damage. Much more to this but this is not the place for it. This is my position for now. I have done the work for you. Still working on the book/instructional manual.
