thegarehanman Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) Thanks david. I did realize that pickups similar to this existed, but I haven't been able to find any that are tuned to suit each polepiece's respective string (or is that what clint's does). He hangs out on the mimf forum if I'm not mistaken; he's a very cool guy. Just so you guys know, I've placed the order for the baseplates for the p90's and 'buckers that I'll be making. I've also ordered the rapid prototype parts I need for the covers. I'll be getting some black, nickel, chrome and gold 'bucker covers engraved with my "rg" on them as well. I should have something for anyone interested in at least a month, maybe a bit more, depending on turnaround times. I'm pretty excited about these pickups; I've had good results with the test coils and look forward to seeing them in a pretty package. I'd like to get some sound clips up, but my buddy who has a good recording setup is pretty overwhelmed at the moment, so I don't really want to bother him right now. Then again, sound clips aren't really a fair representation, since so many other factors are in play. peace, russ Edited November 27, 2007 by thegarehanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I really like your "crop circle" design. I'll keep them top of mind for an upcoming build (sort of weird and coincidentally having a bit of a crop circle tie-in [eh, kind of])... let me know when/if you might have a couple available. Design-wise, they'd fit perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I'll keep you updated, rick. The "crop circles" design (although I'm still not sure if that will be the official title, as it's a mouthfull) will be the first I can offer anyone, as it will take longer for the metal parts for the p90 and humbuckers to come in. On that note, some of the material that will be adorning the p90 and humbucker bobbins/covers came in: peace, russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Russ - i will happily have one of each, or maybe even one of the wierd ones and two of the p-90's. Let me know when they are done and how much you want for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that I'm not sure that I'll have the free time to make these pickups any time soon. I got the rapid prototypes made, and the bench models are all good, but between building the formula sae car for school, a new semester starting next week, and my boss needing me to develop a lot of parts in the coming months, I just don't see when I'll get much time to devote to this. Sorry if anyone was waiting for these, I just don't have the time anymore. peace, russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks for the update anyway. I'm still interested if and when you have time to work on them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
