@robin Sure thing. This is the truss rod I have: Attachment : IMG_3810.jpeg

@brie that’s very helpful… so sounds like I need the 1/4” bit instead. No worries….. so the flat wooden part (on mine it’s wood) goes facing up. And then I still place a fillet on top of that that gl...

I did some test cuts with the router for the truss rod slot and I wanna make sure I'm cutting the right sized slot. Mark calls for 7/16" which is what I got, but is there supposed to be so much gap on...

Hello all, before I cut my slot, I had a quick question. The strip of wood taped to the bottom of the rod goes in the cavity, yes? And does the wood face down? It's hard to see that part in the video....

@russ yeah they’re great for some of their starter kits, but once you get it down, there are better options.

@russ great! Stewmac sells lots of parts and kits, but they’re $$$$. But to start out, try them their kits are very helpful.. afterwards I use tone-kraft for wire and Philadelphia luthiers supply fo...

@mario heeeey Mario. I hadn’t thought about making a tutorial, but maybe it would be helpful… in the meantime, this is chases video on it: There are tons of information out there about tonal quality...

@robin so wind count affects how sensitive your pickup will be, but the pattern in which it’s actually wound? Not so much… magnet type is another factor. There’s alnico 2,5,8 and ceramic, and they all...

hello from Texas! I’m pretty new here too, but I’ve found this to be a great community so far!

Attachment : IMG_3130.jpeg Attachment : IMG_3129.jpeg Here are some pics from the process. The concept isn’t difficult. The tricky part is dealing with such small parts and such thin wire....

Hey everyone, when I made my first post, I mentioned that I have been winding my pickups for awhile now, and many expressed interest in hearing about it. so I’ve always been interested in demystifyi...

Hello all, I'm nearing the end of my first design drawing, and I think it's going quite well, but I had a question before I finish. First, The guitar I'll make will be from the electric guitar kit sol...

@markbailey thanks mark! I’m really enjoying your academy so far!

@robin thanks!

Hey all, I was wondering if you could help me out. I just ordered a kit from here and it says if I'm shipping out of the UK (I am) to contact them. But their contact form keeps bouncing back saying, "...

@robin thanks! Sounds like the kit is a good option to start with

I've been going through the design course and I'm about to start my drawings, but I was wondering, for my first build is it recommended to buy the ~$500 kit sold here or part everything out?

@robin thanks! I’ll make another post on it when I wind next. I became obsessed with “demystifying” guitars and one of the big things is pickups. It’s surprisingly not that difficult (although there i...

greetings all! I just signed up and am lookin forward to this. I’ve built multiple partscasters and I’ve been winding my own pickups for over a year now. My goal is to build guitars from slabs of wood...
