  1. so.. you dont know how to split the pickup's signal for one to go to the output jack and one to go to the preamp?
  2. what is that filter in the diagram where the pickup signal splits from the output jack and to the preamp?
  3. alright, i got my wire, and im ready to rewire my guitar as a standard guitar. does anyone have a wiring diagram for how to wire the sustainer in the circuit of a regular guitar? i understand you hookup the pickup outputs into the input of the amp, and the driver into the output of the amp. but where is the output of the whole guitar?
  4. Wow. Where did you get them? This project is looking great so far. I'll be really interested to see how it turns out. a special hookup unfortunately :0 ill get some pictures of the switches up soon if i remember to. ive been too busy drawing up my final schematics and diagrams. this is gonna get crazy pretty quick..
  5. so i got my order in today for my switches! im really excited to get started!! my order consists of i think.. -10 spdt -4 dpdt -2 3pdt -2 on-on 4pdt -1 on-off-on 4pdt got it all for $17 i think ;D
  6. dont know if it would be relevant or not, but my guitar teacher has a noisy cricket that the creator himself (a good friend of my guitar teacher) had built for him, and It is a very good sounding little amp and is incredibly good with battery life. great little amp to plug into a cab.
  7. got it, im going to test everything seperate. first ill set it up like a "normal" guitar, then ill do both my piezo and sustainer seperately but at the same time. that way i can build upon each other's build and once i get frustrated with one side, move to the other. everything seperate. about the circuit, i may be able to order my components soon for all my builds and 3 customer builds (feels so good to have customers! ) so i need to start coming to a close on my main design. progress may become slow, because as of tonight im officially an Eagle Scout! so i gotta finish up my stuff for that.
  8. check out the build log#1 on youtube, just kinda a quick demo of what's going on. please ignore my asperger-influenced/slightly country talking.
  9. got it, i will be making the system with all of the pickups/driver having a quick disconnect system so i can test out many different combination much easier. for the neck pickup and driver, i want to maybe try to stuff them both into something like this. i will also do that to the bridge pickup so everything looks a little more uniform and not like 5 different makes of pickups as far as switches go, i placed my order today for 10 spdt, 4 dpdt, 2 3dpt, and 3 4dpt. i think im covered!
  10. Idea now is to get it running as HSH. Then once the sustainer is done I'll put it in the neck position either with a plastic single coil cover to fill the extra space or just cover the whole cavity with one of those humbucker cover things that look like EMGs.
  11. thanks! i will definitely get back to work on that bobbin, i think i have some resin stuff that i can use to seal off that bottom bit so the plastic doesnt move. im a tad confused, you mentioned covering the pole pieces. should i just use some thin electrical tape? the general setup of this guitar is going to be insane, i prepared my switch order today and i think it was 10 spdt, 4 dpdt, 2 3pdt, and 2 4dpt toggles. and i got it all under $20! i love having connections. obviously not all of those switches will be used in this, but a good many will! Also, ive kinda been doodling out some ideas for a completely self contained system that would require no more space in a guitar than completely replacing the neck humbucker, and adding a space for a 9v in the control cavity. i think i may be onto something here..
  12. the guitar here it is covered with tape, so i can mark my ideas for pots and switches and such here is the construction of my bobbin just a regular single coil bobbin, a plastic spacer thing made (horribly) from hobby styrene then hot glued. ..now that i think about it, lets NOT tell my old model car building buddies how bad i butchered that spacer thing
  13. will start a thread, lemme finish drawing up my schematic in MS paint..
