humbucker pickup windings

Does any body have any information or ideas on how to wind a pickup that would sound similar to Angus Young's signature Seemore Duncan pickup? I rather like the sound of the Gibson SG guitars. I am thinking of laying out a neck about the same length of the SG which I think is 24.5 inches in length and would like to figure out a rather punchy aggressive pickup to go with it. I was wondering about how many windings and how tall or short a pickup like this would be?

  • My best guess is that any PAF Gibson humbucker will get you very close. I read that Angus was really attached to some of his old Marshall amps which also contributes to his sound.
  • You could always take one apart and count the windings, etc. But if you really want to duplicate the sound, just use that pickup.
