- In this video, I will show you how I made the humbucker pickups for my 6-string, multi-scale, fan-fret guitar build. If you would like to help support my channel and get something cool in return, please consider the following:

We will have to hear the sound of the guitar with these pickups. To not do it would not be kind....cooold blooded......lololol.🤣. Seriously, I look forward to hearing them. ✌️🎸✌️
Chris, the metal base slightly alters the inductance of the entire pickup, and therefore its tone.
Yes, it does. However, since there's no such thing as bad tone (tone being subjective), the need for a metal base is unnecessary.
That's all cool, but how do you predict the tone of the pickup? Do you measure its impedance to check the peak resonant frequency? Why don't you make the double resonance humbuckers? And aren't you wax potting your pickups? This particular guitar is gonna be used with the high gain amps obviously, so its pickups should be wax potted to prevent the mic effect.
Impedance, inductance, and gauss. Double resonance humbuckers are great in theory, but pointless in practice. Wax potting is useful on high output coils with loose windings. My windings are very tight,
Out of curiosity, why did you end up going with double-screw bobbins instead of slug-screw or double-slug?
Wasn't sure if it had to do with ease of 3-d printing or not.
I just like screw pole pieces.
@@HighlineGuitars Fair enough! I'm really enjoying this series so far -- problems and all, you're doing a great job showing your process! Hoping something happens with that 3-D printed guitar body some time soon... I've been excited about that since you first teased it!
Hello,
I've never seen a CNC to lead wire before that's clever. I saw guys that were leading wire manually (only leading not turning around) that way looks much better thanks for sharing.
Out of topic, that blue strat close to the 6 string multiscale looks awsome, what color/paint did you used ?
Createx 5201 Opaque Blue.
Thank you for the video Chris. ✌️✌️🙏🙏🙏
Hey Chris, any particular reason why you chose to have the bridge coil of the bridge pickup with South polarity or this is just an habit?
It's the Gibson tradition. The bridge pickup has the south pole toward the bridge and the neck pickup has the south pole toward the nut.
Thanks!
Why isn't the copper wire shorted together? Is it insulated with varnish? Also, would you be able to modify your coil calculator to wind for a specific resistance rather than number of winds? This was a fascinating video, kudos for putting the effort into building your own pickups!
@@StealthParrot The wire is insulated. There are many different types of insulation, but the most common are poly-nylon, enamel, and formvar. Sorry, but I will not modify my software.
@@HighlineGuitars Don't misunderstand, I wasn't telling you to modify the software, but you seemed to be going for specific resistance values, so was just musing that it might give you something a little more specific, that's all.
@@StealthParrot no, I shoot for a specific turn count. Resistance is secondary. Predicting the resistance helps to determine which magnet to use.
so how much is the cnc winder and software. i’m assuming you started with a manual winder. do you have any recommendations on manual winders?
The plans and software are $40. I have never used a commercially made winder so I don't have any recommendations for one.
@@HighlineGuitars cool. do you sell plans and software. or have a link?
@@eross21 It's in the description for all of my videos, including this one.
@@HighlineGuitars lol should have looked there first. thanks
