Hi everyone! since i was planning to build a guitar myself, this was the place to look around for usefull info and alot of beautifull artwork of people, some more professional then others, alot of knowledge is stored here so thats good.
anyway, i did a search and had a look around on other threads and leardned alot about pups and stuff but still some unanswered questions remain.
I want to expreriment with building my own pickups. So the first thing to get is, i guess, a magnet. well, where do i find a magnet suitable for a descent pickup what are the things to look out for. they come in various forces, right? how should i know wich one...
There are lots of guitarnuts who build them themself, and they sell them as well sometimes. Where do they get proper magnets from? :S i know you can give a certain piece of metal magnetics somehow.
cant i take a magnet from like the kitchen door or stuff like that ?
Pics will follow soon in the in progress and finished work area.
thx alot.
