With that I'm signing out and will see you on the dark side. Gotta get some sleep.
So have you gott-en any sleep?
Plenty, got 5 1/2 hours of it yesterday morning and feels like I've done nothing since except eat grapes

Now get off of my case before I turn it into that big of a deal.

Sure, we got it.

First PCB done and testing now.

Seriously interested by this idea, especially with being able to wind the different coils to different numbers of turns and gauges, could be quite interesting!

I hope to do a frequency sweep shortly to calculate each coil's inductance and where the resonance peaks are. They sound quite bright while also having some nice bottom... end...

Actually feel more like an idiot... chasing a unique sound the hard way... so much easier to put down some coins and say I ll have that thanks.

Yeah, but then there's no magic and you have substantially fewer coins.

This would be so easy to draw up in a program like eagle, to spit out suitable files for a fabbing house, if I wasn't so short on spare time I'd offer to do it for you. Let us know when you run out of your boards if you want it done...school holidays are good for me.

Now that is a fine offer Sir! I am still fine tuning the board layout wrt mounting options. Struggling a bit ATM... Hope to have sorted this weekend so I can get this blimmin guitar finished.

Two weeks gone by with so little progress... Cutting slivers of ebony veneer for the pick up housing. I am struggling with the height adjustment part of the pickup project :(

I'll keep on telling me - it's all worth it, keep on going...

Need to drill the holes in the right place for the 'pole pieces' to come through

Put toothpaste on the pole pieces then stick the cover on. Toothpaste will stick where the poles were and then you know just where to drill holes :D

Yes, definitely keep going!

I realisethat these are going into your hanbuilt guitar, so you're going to all of the extra effort with the timber surrounds etc. the rest of the guitar is really special, so the extra effort is well worth it.
