Hi all!!! In this video, my improvisations sound (I play guitars from cigar boxes) ..the last in the video, at the very end - the sound of this pickup. How do you like this video?
Awesome video. The ratio of likes and comments vs views are way outta whack. I personally love the fact that I got to learn something new with out listening to a bunch of babbling. I'm currently building my third CBG, the first two were "learning curve failures" lol. But this one's right. My boy wants to build one with me, so an ammo can 3 string is next. Gonna try your pick up in that one. Lengthy comment, yes, I know, but thanks for the video
Your pickups looks great. I recommend you to use cloth tape instead the electric since this later's adhesive tend to degrade in time and make a mess.

This video came just in time. There ain't much good materials about handmade pickups, the few I found are in low video quality or poorly demonstrated/explained (too much blablabla). But you dude always make a good work here in this channel. Thank you!
Thanks!!! My instruments sound in the video .. this pickup sounds at the end. I insert my music on three-stringed instruments into all videos .. sometimes on four-stringed ones.
Thank you for this excellent video! I’ve always wanted to make a pickup and now I feel confident in giving it a try. When winding, do you test resistance as you go to try and get the two coils matching? Or just try to count winding?
If you don't want to do a voiceover, you can greatly improve this video by leaving the words on the screen longer, so the entire sentence can be read. Otherwise nice work, thanks.
Thank you! You can pause to press .. at the same time and think! I will take this remark into account .. it will be possible to shoot a little differently (so that the text does not interfere with the picture)
I hit "Pause" the moment I see words flash on the screen, and take notes. After that, I watch the video a second time to see the techniques and listen to the music!
Best videos on Pick-up winding I've seen so far, Thank you! My only question is about the final resistance of the coils. I see yours range from about 4K ohms to about 9K ohms. Is there a specific resistance you prefer? Thanks!
Thank you! In this pickup (humbucker), the coils are identical in resistance (this gives the effect of noise reduction). I try to wind it carefully .. this is the main thing for me. The more resistance, the less high frequencies (high resistance for playing with overdrive), but this is one of the moments ... a lot of subtleties.
That's right, they do it too .. wind the coils in different directions. They seem to connect it in a different way only (they connect the end of the first coil to the beginning of the second ... the beginning of the first is a signal, the end of the second is ground) ... I had such an experience and everything works well.
Hello! I think you can do without it ... in this pickup I did not ground the metal rivets ... in other pickups I make a ground (and thus I isolate the magnets / cores) .. I have an old wire, it is 70 years old ... I'm afraid that suddenly the enamel has come off it over time. In general, this is for safety reasons (so that there is no contact between the magnets / cores and the winding wire).
@@CigarBoxBroGuitars Thank you! But in another of your videos, you grounded the middle magnets with a copper wire, and then started winding the thin wire from the same eyelet hole. I don't fully understand why the copper winding wire starts from the ground if the wire cannot touch the magnets?
@@attilasipeki1418 Yes! the area of contact is larger ... suddenly the earth will be closed to the signal ... for reasons of correct operation. I do my best not to get in trouble.

How do you like this video?
I'll use the knowledge I've gotten from here to make a pickup for my bass. Thanks a lot boss
@@mahbuburrahman926 Thank you! I wish you success!!!!
Sounds Great!!!
@@LolitaWilson-d7q thanks

Thank you! Great comment.. glad the video is helpful!
Fantastic step by step footage...fantastic...well done !!
Thank you! Glad you like it
Very cool, but I would have liked to hear the finished product. I am curious about what kind of music can be made with a three string guitar.
Thanks!!! My instruments sound in the video .. this pickup sounds at the end. I insert my music on three-stringed instruments into all videos .. sometimes on four-stringed ones.
Excellently done!!!
Thanks 😊)))
Well done! Everything is working out for you. I wish you happiness and a creative attack.😎✌
Yeah! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like how you POS'd it all out to match the "guitar".
Thanks 🙏

I thought with a humbucker, the coils were wound in opposite directions . Which is how they cancel the 60 cycle Hum. But i am just a novice.
That's right, they do it too .. wind the coils in different directions. They seem to connect it in a different way only (they connect the end of the first coil to the beginning of the second ... the beginning of the first is a signal, the end of the second is ground) ... I had such an experience and everything works well.
Did you reverse the winding direction on the second pickup?
Hello! No, I did not change the winding direction.
What kind of glue do you use can it be bought in the UK
Medical glue .. I buy it at a pharmacy.
In the U.S., it's called "Liquid Skin" or "Liquid Bandage". Also known as Surgical Glue.
What size steel rivets did you use (diameter of the stem)?
4 мм
Hi! May I ask why do you use transparent tape?
Hello! I think you can do without it ... in this pickup I did not ground the metal rivets ... in other pickups I make a ground (and thus I isolate the magnets / cores) ..

@@CigarBoxBroGuitars I see now, so the ground will be the start of the winding coil.
@@attilasipeki1418 yeees
Genial
Thanks
Супер!!!
Спасибо))
Шыкардос!!!
This may be a bit too complicated for me.
This is the hardest pickup I've ever made. Try to wind one coil .. find magnets and wire.
Very good video very interesting but I don't think I can do it.
Thanks 🙏
