LOL. I'm using a rather Rube Goldbergeque device made from an old sewing machine, a mic stand (holding the wire spool, which is small,) and a six pack of IPA. :D Far too embarrassing to subject myself to the ridicule of posting pics. Time to brows your threads.

I got a set of minihumbuckers for 30 bucks that are awesome!

How the hell do you wind w/42 gauge wire without breaking it. This stuff is as thin as hair!:mad:

Bookmarked!The classic series is essential to me!

Already finding good shit! Thanx, Mutt! :)

My severe mental retardation is making it difficult to find much, in terms of your threads, or JCH's. Any help appreciated.

Will do! Already came to the conclusion that Stewmac aint for me.

My magnetic train wreck. It WORKS! I'm shocked!It was unbelievably easy to make.Made it out of parts from a pickup I cannibalized.Only has a few hundred winds of the wrong gauge wire(32, I think.) The output is very low, but I'm amazed that it worked on my first try. Time to browse Stewmac!:D

Nickle silver wound.

Sounds ok. It's a $5 homemade radioshack piezo.

My latest monstrosity.One piece African Mahogany body/neck, Birdseye Maple fingerboard, home made piezo pickup(installed after pic was taken.)

Your cat winked at me! :D

Breathtaking! Inspiring...awesome!

I'm fixin' to redo a Les Paul top, using a dremel and this weird grinding, sanding thing I fashioned. I'm expecting professional results! :D

I wonder if a bears arm would work. We all have a right to bear arms!
