Do all humbuckers weigh about the same?

The weight can vary in each pickup and much depends on the dimensions of the magnet and material, construction and hardware and especially the gauge and number of turns for the desired output and tone response. Much is said about the weight of an instrument and the hardware including pickups can contribute to the total weight. The amount of turns you put on a pickup is also determined by the diameter of the magnet wire and thickness of insulation on the wire. Pickups with heavier copper wire and thinner insulation will weigh more than a pickup with thinner copper wire and thicker insulation per specified turns.
