What if a have a guitar with a matte finish ? Specifically an Epiphone Emily Wolfe signature in black ?
@coilsboutiquepickupsКүн бұрын
Hi, matte finish is a completely different scenario, and can only be finished to an invisible repair by spaying new lacquer

I bought two A500k pots and one of them read to 460k and the other one is 520k. Its okay to use the 460k? Which one is good for volume and tone? Pls I need answer.
@coilsboutiquepickups2 күн бұрын
Hi, it's ok to use both. Pots aren't always super accurate. I'd use the 520k as a volume to brighten up the sound a bit

Well done repair this is the way the late Mike Lull did my Gibson 30 years ago and it has held up all this time no trouble with 12s. ❤ I am not a fan of the epoxy adhesive repairs you see a lot of on KZbin has no place in repair except some cosmetic filling.

Another buzz you can get is from loose tuning keys so when you hear a buzz or vibration, check your tuners! Loose Clover keys are really common on second hand or older basses. Cool short! ❤

I guess “from scratch” means different things to different people. Pickups I have made from scratch were ones that I designed and fabricated the entire pickup including making the spools, winding, and assembly. If you just buy all the parts, you are really just winding and assembling them. After doing this a few times I decided that I really had nothing to offer that I couldn’t buy for a relatively small amount of money and that it was more trouble than it’s worth.

Got lots of Teles from HB to CS...and the lightest is an LSL TBone and it's resonant is most felt...and it sounds absolutely amazing/best. I bought the same LSL pups last week and dropped them into a HB TE62 and while it too sound great...NOT like the same pups in the light/resonant LSL.

Thanks for the video! I’m currently leaning to make the pickup myself. Your video really helps me a lot. However, I’m still little confused on where wire I should solder to the which copper wire. You said in the video that the wire needs to be soldered in to their designated copper wire. But what exactly are those designed places? For example. For the slug coil. Which color of the wire should solder to the starter copper wire and which color of wire should solder to the finishing copper wire? Thanks a lot!
@coilsboutiquepickupsАй бұрын
Each pickup manufacturer uses different color code for the wires. If you are building your own pickup, just remember which wire goes to which coil start/end and then solder them according to your preferred wire scheme.

brilliant video !! thank you ! , a question . for fill the holes , are you using a special stick, or is simple tooth sticks ? and also , special glue ? will the wood of the guitar wont react to this new type of wood in the holes ? thank you
@coilsboutiquepickups2 ай бұрын
Hi, thank you for your comment. I just found a perfect fit toothpick, it all depends on the size of the hole..the plugs should have a snuggle fit. I usually just use CA glue for these type of jobs. Yhis specific installation does not require the drilling of new holes for where the new screw goes, and there should be no problem even if it was different. Drilling a new hole in a plugged hole is completely ok.

I broke a pickup awhile ago changing the magnet and this looks like the answer to the problem I was having - using copper tape to attach the 4 conductor wire to the bobbin wire. Although I also have another problem - my bobbin is covered in tape goop covering the wiring, is there a way to remove old goop from the coil windings?

@robinbrown78903 ай бұрын
Thank you. This is the way to do it. Forget the measurement tool….use your ears. All pickups are different. It’s about the sound. You can hear clearly in this demo how correct set up can be done by listening….and how smooth the sound is when switching between bridge and neck when pick up height is correct. Thanks again
