@Rocknroller912,Thanks! I've got everything I need! I should have already built a few but I've been in a rut. This may get me jumpstarted again.

@prodoozer Welcome to the group. Do you have any tools yet or are you starting with nothing.

@rocknroller912 The dot works. 🙂 I was considering getting the logotype cut by smallwondermusic.co.uk but that kinda depends how much it’s going to cost. Attachment : bisset logostyle test2.png

@jamesbisset I would just change the square dot to a round one and use an ordinary drill bit. If you are cutting the inlay from MoP a ready made dot is an easy fit. Cut all the letters as individuals ...

I’m casually designing a logostyle on the laptop, and I decided to print it out to get a sense of scale. But whilst most of the lettering looks feasible, it has dawned on me that I’ve got a dot above ...

From a bit of research a while back the effective capacitance of pickups is quite small compared to that of typical guitar cables. Resonant peaks of guitar pickups tend to be at ultrasonic frequenci...

@frocesterbill Sounds like good fun. It will be interesting if you record the results as you go along with different wire types, capacitance, impedance and sound quality. Like a proper science experim...

My thoughts on pickup winding are that I can just try some of the variables and see what they sound like - vary number of winds, wire thickness and material, magnet type and strength, coil taps (as op...

@darrenking Can't disagree with you it's not an absolute requirement to do complicated calculations but anyone who works to a high standard as you obviously do will start with something basic and want...

Hi Rocknroller,That sounds an awful lot more complicated than most of the ‘winding your own pick-ups’ videos I’ve watched on YouTube. They mainly seem to be concerned with the the pattern of winding a...

@jamesbisset @mattbeels As far as I know scatter winding produces a higher resonant frequency which gives a fuller range of sound

@darrenking I can understand why people would want to do a self build pick up but it should be different to an off the shelf commercial product to make it worthwhile. It's important to start with a de...

The flame maple was pre joined from a previous owner who passed away but it had a big gap along the underside, so yesterday's task was to separate the join using a domestic iron over brown paper (the ...

I'm surprised to read that you are moving to Scotland. I live in the SW between Dumfries and Carlisle, will you be anywhere near me ? Blending in with the locals by buying a Scotland shirt is a good p...

it looks interesting @boo I now know what Mark means when he says that the 335 is a completely different beast from either a solid or an archtop, despite being a hybrid of both. I think I might be in...

I got one of these. Beautifully packaged and can't wait to use it 😃 Attachment : 20201227_120038.jpg

I encourage her to keep knitting, just so I can point out that I've only made one guitar while she's been knitting all these jumpers. 🤣 🤣

I got some good reads. @clinton That is some interesting reading right there. Enjoy.
