You are definitely the right kind of crazy. I’m loving the ingenuity and imagination going into every aspect of this build. I can’t wait to see the finished guitar.
Absolutely brilliant, wish I'd seen this series before the final. You were the only builder that truly built a guitar. I was totally hooked watching this. More please!
Amazing. I'm starting to believe that I need a 3D printer. K It seems to be a very powerful tool to make tools to solve random problems. Edit: wow, the bobbin is 12K, the universe is conspiring in your favour.
Thank you! Yes, you definitely need one, and once you get comfortable enough with designing things you can unleash it's full potential for solving all sorts of problems. And yeah hahaa, it seems that almost everything was in my favour during this build. It isn't in the video, but I used a low pass filter after the pickup and I needed a 5nF capacitor for my desired cutoff frequency, guess what, I found one in a broken power supply. Also, in my pickup design the magnetic field is stronger in the middle than on the sides, that means that it will accommodate for the radius of the strings quite nicely.
Put a 200kOhm and 470pF load across the pickup to simulate controls, cable and amplifier impedance, and you'll get a more realistic frequency response. In parallel you'll get a lower Inductance and higher cutoff frequency.
You're absolutely right! I have done exactly all of that and worked out my cutoff frequencies, but I couldn't fit everything in this video. There will be a video after the competition ends with all the working out and all the theory that went into it 😁
@@BogdanBacila301 pickup frequency response and replication is a rabbit hole. I'm using a Syscom CGM and R (but you can use Excel) to apply a -20dB/decade slope to so you get a visualisation of a low-pass response without the behaviour of the driver coil in there. And trying to replicate the sounds of pickups I like in different packages. Strat SC size P90s, high output distortion pickups built with alnico rods and pretty maple flatwork. But its loads of work. There's good resources in the pickup analyis section of guitarnuts2.proboards.com and they'll probably appreciate a write-up.
@@rowlandstraylight thanks for the info, I'll give it a look. There's definitely a lot going on with a pickup and what I'm doing was not precise in any way, starting from not knowing the frequency response of the driver coil to not having a proper oscilloscope or other precision equipment which I don't have at home. What I was trying to do was get a general idea of the characteristics of the pickup and also put out a theoretical method of how an analysis should work and that it can be done in pinch for a general overview
Your tenacity & fortitude impresses me, you definitely deserve to be one of the winners, good luck. I would also like to see the frequency analysis video.
Thank you! I will hopefully post that as a separate video soon, after the guitar is ready, there's a lot of interesting things that I learned from that
Of all the GGBO video series I find this the most impressive and fascinating. I can't help but wondering the direction this would have taken without a 3D printer!
Thank you! I was wondering that too, probably most of the parts would have been built anyways, but definitely would have been quite rough around the edges. Now that I have it I can also focus on aesthetics as well as on the functionality.
@@BogdanBacila301 Your skills are impressive. Im a electric ukulele builder, and know how much work it costs. If you planning next build, please upload this on youtube. I think you have opportunity for a great channel.
I do own a 3D printer myself, but I also have access to them in university if I didn't have one. We actually have a 3D printing society where we can use some printers.
@@BogdanBacila301 I was born in 1950. If someone had told me that in the future I would be able to print parts, I would have told them they were crazy! Now that I think of it, in 1980 say, I could not have imagined RUclips or the internet. Cell phones!??? What?? Very clever pick-up construction. They could have used you on Gilligan's Island. (You are probably too young to get that). Looking forward to the completed guitar.
You are definitely the right kind of crazy. I’m loving the ingenuity and imagination going into every aspect of this build. I can’t wait to see the finished guitar.
Thank you so much!
If that pickup works the way you are thinking, that is straight up bad ass. I absolutely love it.
I guess the only way to test it out will be to put it on and hope for the best 😅
Absolutely brilliant, wish I'd seen this series before the final. You were the only builder that truly built a guitar. I was totally hooked watching this. More please!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
I would like to join the folks requesting the follow-up video with the full frequency analysis. Keep up the good work, fascinating.
Thank you! I will do one soon, most likely after finishing the entire guitar in about 2 weeks
This is the most brilliant pickup video on this planet! Who would ever imagine that you can build pickups from a microwave
Phukin awesome dude... evil genius level.
Hahaa thank you! I honestly hope everything works well in the end 😅
@@BogdanBacila301 even if it doesn’t it’ll still be extremely interesting. But I have faith.
@@BoneheadGuitars thanks so much man!

Roots level genius, way to persevere. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
WOW! That looks sunning. Love the brass also, great choice.
Thank you!
That pickup design is crazy, would love to see a full spectrum analysis!
Thanks man, will do that soon haha
Me too
Wow! Another brilliant video, I have learned a lot about pickups. I would love to see your frequency analysis at some point. Many thanks. Cheers Dave
Thabk you, Dave! I will post it after finishing the guitar 😁
I love your way of thinking out of the box. I really enjoy watching these videos, very refreshing approach.
Thank you!
Love the build dude, you’re a mad scientist for sure! Lol
Thanks!
Wow! Amazing content! Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s awesome!
Thank you!
i like what i see and hear!
Thank you!
Superb work again Bogdan
Thank you!
Brilliant- really enjoying this build😊👍
Thank you!
Impressive.

This guy never run out of idea from dremel attachment etc to this..damn fuck me dead. May Successful ahead to u my friend

Dude, that's awesome!
Thank you!
You have done a fantastic job on the pickup, I can't wait to hear the guitar now!
Thank you! I can't wait either! Not much time left now haha
Beautifull !!

Alright, gotta sub after that sweet pickup!
Thank you!
Thank you!
That we be cool if you do your own pick ups !
I will definitely do that after the competition ends
Hey Bogdan. If I can ask, are You from Poland ?
Hi, I'm originally from Romania, but I now live in the UK
@@BogdanBacila301 Your skills are impressive. Im a electric ukulele builder, and know how much work it costs. If you planning next build, please upload this on youtube. I think you have opportunity for a great channel.
@@MrDieseel thank you, I'll keep posting stuff probably, I now need to get back on track with uni stuff and then I can take care of future projects
I can send some sawdust if you run out. :-)
I was just about to run out but it was all good haha
@@BogdanBacila301 I`m glad you can take some fun , It`s exciting to see your project and experiments, looking forward to the finale.
@@runelund5600 Thank you!

@@joebikeguy6669 hahaa, thank you so much! I really appreciate your feedback!
Man, that was amazing! I'm loving your vídeos! Please dont stop! Keep creating other projects!
Thank you! Really appreciate it! 😁
This is so funny, I was just experimenting with pickups made out of 50m of garden wire. Really cheap, and already wind in a coil.
Utterly brilliant. Your build gets better and better and more and more impressive with each installment.
Thank you!
Bogdan, you're brilliant!! Yes, I'd love to see the video of how you worked out the best way of configuring the two coils of the pickup.
Thank you! It's going to come as well probably after the build is finished.

Roots level genius, way to persevere. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
That dremel routing technique is genius I'm gonna have to start using that
Thank you!
Very cool. Great work.
Thank you!
Fast becoming my favourite GGBO build! So inventive
Thank you!
I totally enjoyed watching your build and thank you for taking the long way home I have learnt
so much 👍
Thank you! That is the idea, it's easy to go the traditional way, but doing it like this makes us learn something in the end
awesome .... im already exited about the next video keep up the good work sir
Thank you!
