I re-wound some weirdass pickups recently!

They look pretty normal here, just some slightly gnarly old humbuckers....


But when you open them up... Surprise!


They were taken from cheapass Japanese 70's copy guitars (the matching set came from a Vester SG, can't remember where the gold one is from but it was a Les Paul). The internals are actually fairly similar to Teisco-style pickups and the sound was pretty similar (slightly punchier perhaps), however they were so stupidly microphonic that I re-wound the copper coils entirely rather than just wax-pot them.

I now have no idea what to do with them.

Those Tremar arms go for quite a lot by themselves. I know because I've been after one for years and they get snapped up way above my price point. They're like a more ornate, creakier offset trem.

Incidentally that's really cool and, blender buttons aside, does not belong in this thread.

I want a row of buttons from an old blender so, so badly. Haven't been able to find one though.

Incidentally, the gooncaster (if anyone remembers that) is still totally on the cards. I've got a template roughed out, although I was thinking that I might just make the loving thing out of MDF.

Guy wanted £2k for his, it was well loved but everything was working and it came with an armoured case that looked like one of those old metal caravans. Also, because I said right off the bat that I wasn't interested in it, he wouldn't let me touch it, which was funny as gently caress.

Well I just unblocked the floyd rose on my MII and spent all of jams last night finishing each song with stupid ridiculous slayer divebombs with everything on my pedalboard turned on and it's the most fun I've had playing guitar since, like, ever.

Also here is my pedalboard. Still need to build a proper killswitch but it's almost done. Features a 4 channel patchbay, hidden wireless and an A/B selector for switching to wired in case (ie. when) the wireless fucks itself. I didn't deliberately buy all TC electronic stuff but a couple people I know were selling theirs and it's pretty great bang for buck in terms of flexibility

Thanks for the wood advice I think I'll try it again once I find a dirt cheap beater body with better wood.

The description of the process is a little ridiculous, I'm going to have to figure out how much of it is bullshit

quote:

How it is made? The wood of the furniture is carbonized at a temperature of approximately 2000 F. The short time of burning the wood makes the surface charring and it obtains the color, texture and the specific appearance of burnt, while inside the timber remains intact.

After the burnt wood cools down, it is impregnated with a special substance named epioftonol. This stabilizes and strengthens the burned wood while the color and texture are dependent of the substance concentration. Epioftonol is a substance invented and patented by Yaroslav Galant. The crystallization process of the substance on the wood lasts from a week to a month. In the end the furniture is varnished.

Burning it's the easy part (dense wood, high heat, char it till it looks good), the finishing process will be harder. No idea what 'epioftonol' is (google just links to charred furniture) but I'm guessing it's either some sort of epoxy or poly finish. The epoxy stuff that's used to seal concrete floors should work just fine, failing that you could go fancy and use something like Solarez UV cure poly (apply in a dark room, wait 10 minutes for it to level and for bubbles to disperse, then drag it out in sunlight, stuff sets in minutes, it's great).
