I appreciate the time and effort that you put into making this video. Thank you again.

@edilsony2b Год назад

Sometimes I see the following schematics: #1 Start of the screw coil goes to HOT Two finishes are solded together Start of the slug coil goes GROUND #2 Start of the screw coil goes to GROUND Two finishes are solded together Start of the slug coil goes HOT These differences are related to clockwise or counter-clockwise winding? Or because of humbucker position (neck/bridge?)

@philipcarson6768 Год назад

Hi. I noticed you wound 5006 turns on the first coil - do you wind a different number on the second coil to emphasise the highs?

@8BombCustom Год назад

I do it differently. Different tricks for different tasks

@patchesthejaybird8431 Год назад

You could also use a different tension on each coil, or even a different tpl or other coil geometry change, though my experience in this is limited, and this knowledge and how to apply it is the most closely guarded secret among winders.

@squiresuzuki 3 года назад

What do the pole screws actually screw into? The base plate or the metal keeper bar? I'm confused because it looks like neither of them are threaded/tapped.

@8BombCustom 3 года назад

They are screwed in, self-threading, through the bobbin into the backplate. Since the metal of the screws is harder than nickel silver, the screws themselves cut the threads. The holes on the metal keeper are larger than the diameter of the screws so they can pass freely through them.

@squiresuzuki 3 года назад

@@8BombCustom Ah, I see. Do they *need* to touch the backplate / keeper bar (for magnetic field reasons) or is it simply structural?

@8BombCustom 3 года назад

I think the keeper is just so that the magnet touches the screws as much as possible through it for better transmission of the magnetic field.

Do you make sustain pickups too? If so, kindly make a DIY project clip. Thank you

@8BombCustom 29 дней назад

What you mean about sustain?

@draknagar 27 дней назад

@@8BombCustom A pickup like Sustaiac (Brand name). Generally it replaces/mounted at neck pickup's place, in proximity of high end of fret board. Instead of simple clipping, it enhances the amplitude and then clips. the impedance of the pickup is very low (thicker wire and less number of winding of coils and magnetism is focused at string. For impedance matching and clipping there is an interface circuit board to be fitted in cavity of the guitar, bearing electronic control switches etc.

@8BombCustom 27 дней назад

Thank you. I already figured out what you meant. Interesting functionality, but for me personally and for the guitars that I make, it is not very useful. A proper LesPaul can have infinite and controllable sustain, so I was not even interested. I have a narrower specialization. Perhaps if I find the time, I will figure out such a device.

No, I'm not positioning it as a Gibson PAF. It's a copy. The decal is just a tradition. But no matter what anyone wants to pass it off as the original, they have markers on them that say that this is a copy. All my reels have my logo on the reverse side, a small number 8 is minted on the backplates. And now I still refused this decal.

Hello, would you plese tell me how - where have you got - bought that pickup winding machine ? If you have ordered it online, did you have to pay extra taxes for the customs and shipping ? Ty !

@8BombCustom 2 года назад

Zdravo. I bought my machine from mojotone.com. This is a fairly simple machine, but with nice additions. Gauss meter, stepless speed control and good build quality. But out of the box, it is only suitable for winding single coils with manual wire layout. Therefore, I had to do it very hard and, in fact, finish the second half of the machine. It is a wire tensioner and an automatic coil spreader. Plus some humbucker winding gear. Of course, I paid customs duties, but this is not a problem to achieve the goal.

@major-Mihailo-Madzarevic 2 года назад

I'm from Serbia and I am clueless about how much It would cost to order machine online , to pay for the shipping + customs. Maybe you do remember aproximately how much have you payed for machine + shipping + customs ?

I have been to Belgrade several times and painted several churches in Montenegro. www.mojotone.com/PWM You can enter the country and postal code when ordering and find out the cost of delivery to Serbia. You can find out about customs duties at your post office or on your local website. In my country, now it is 15% for the amount of a parcel above 20 euros. In Europe, it is 30% for an amount over 30 euros, if I'm not mistaken. Plus customs clearance fees.
