    Thanks menser, is it a four-wire pup?

    Help me create an unusual guitar

    Yep side by side and I hadn't thought about it yet, is the Duncan p90 noiseless side by side? And yeah I've got the general idea what I haven't figured out really is the wood so more thinking before action :-)

    Help me create an unusual guitar

    I've got plenty of p90 guitars but no filter tons.. so what if I try to get the best of both? I'm thinking about combining a filtertron bridge and neck with a noiseless p90 in the middle. With a modified five-way I get jangly scoop in the bridge neck and combined and using each of the noiseless...

    A guitar pickup works without magnets - I have a headache

    Okay since we're on what seems to be a interesting but irrelevant topic.. does this mean you could put magnet-less pickups in the normal positions and put humongous magnets behind the nut to magnetize the strings? Or would that put the magnetism too far away from the pups to work?

    Multi-wind pickups

    Okay now I get it.. I've never been able to get inductance to work with my plumbing metaphor for electronics :-) Thanks as always!

    Multi-wind pickups

    Yeah I think we talked about the capacitance in that other thread many years ago! Interesting from your video was the lack of inductance. I wouldn't have expected that.

    Multi-wind pickups

    I mainly did the sand down the wire and solder the tap off of it approach.. and they failed quite a bit. The more successful ones went to eyelets as you mentioned.. But they were all one off for specific designs so I just kept going on each one until that particular pup was done. But...

    Multi-wind pickups

    Yep, I was thinking more like the video that freefrog shared, but looking for results more like the multiwind product. My initial thought was why don't I wind two wires at the same time and just stop winding one of them at whatever length I want and then connect the input to the output on a...

    Multi-wind pickups

    A good while back, when I was still winding pickups, I posted a thread wondering if anyone had wound multiple coils simultaneously.. Theoretically there seem to be so many options with easy multitap seeming the most obvious.. However, no one thought it would work and I didn't pursue it any...

    Let's play a " What If " game with Guitar Models

    Easy.. Parker night fly.. hss.. literally can make every strat or Les Paul sound you can imagine but it's got steel frets, a rock solid carbon neck, one of the best trems ever designed and all kinds of mods that make it a perfect do everything stage guitar...

    Parlor Guitars?

    Sorry, missed this... For what I was looking for (intament, full range tone, low tension) the 12 fret won.. It has required some position shifts that would fall higher on the neck with a 14, but worth the adjustment.

    Fretting question

    Sure if I'm playing something that's relatively static.. back and forth... More likely I'll be doing something scalar so using scale fingerings is more common for me.

    NAD - Peavey Classic 50 2x12

    You found the magic.. My 50 4 * 10 is my primary tube stage app. Unbelievably versatile... from totally clean to hard Rock. Great effects loop incredibly sturdy, just an overall great amp. Wish I could help you with the foot switch, but let us know how things go and when and where you're...

    I'm beginning to think that autopilot gets better as we age

    Good point.. I know that you're correct about subconscious learning. I had a period where I had to lay down the guitar for about a year and dreaded relearning.. But when I came back, it took about a day to catch up and within a week I was doing things well beyond what I could do before...
