I made a Partscaster And My Wife Made Pickups For It OUT OF REFRIGERATOR MAGNETS! YES I Said My Wife

[@davidsummerville351]

For all of us that have lost a friend. They leave a trail of paw prints to your heart.

Yeah they do , we lost our half German Shepherd/husky mix last summer. He was all black and I named him Sabbath , he lived to be 13 years old. We have another pure bred German Shepherd named Slayer , we kept the metal thing going and got a kitten named Dio 🤘 Dogs are great companions and have quite the personalities , they really are man's best friend!✌️ PS we had a paw print casted after he passed and had him cremated for my daughter...

[@DMBFAN90]

Losing my pitbull at only 6 years old from cancer was devastating. He was my best friend in the world. And not a second goes by that i dont think about. R.I.P otis daddy will never forget you buddy!

[@thaliahelene]

I’m late to the video because I just found the channel. So sorry to hear about your darling dog. I lost my rescue corgi of 14 years at the end of July and it’s the worst feeling. Bless your hearts. I hope you guys get some peace and comfort soon.

[@TURBOCAST]

Those pickups sound awesome!!! The video on how she made them is so good!!!!!! Sorry about your loss my friend, stay positive and remember the scarred family is always here for you!!! 🙏

[@MashaT22]

I see I’m not the only one who loves watching you sand and carve bevels with that drill. It is truly an art. The staining on this guitar is absolutely stunning. Shoutout to Trey on the phone. Benjamin Maxedon is gonna enjoy his guitar for sure. Those personalized necks are always really cool. Always wear your respirator protection, kids! The pickups are the star of the show. That’s hilarious about the magnets being so strong! Cathy will get it dialed in better, and that’s why they are called “prototypes,” but it’s an amazing idea to use inexpensive fridge magnets. I made some fun suggestions on Cathy’s channel for future prototypes. You’re gonna get cracked for sure, but it always takes a little crazy to make something insanely awesome! 😂😂😂 Whoever didn’t see her video needs to go check out the Scarred My Pickups channel. It’s fun watching Cathy work, plus you might learn something!

[@schreds8882]

Neodymium magnets can create a large field. I'd reduce the number to just one. I like the look of the neodymium as a rail but putting it at the top of the pickup will pull at the strings. Perhaps turn the pickup so that the narrow edge is used as the rail. For this you'd need to change the orientation of the poles though. Alternatively, you could mount two magnets at the bottom of the bobbin and have steel screws to extend the field, sort of like a P-90 but with a lot more magnetic field.

[@donaldkuryliw431]

I think Cathy is on to something with those Neo magnet pickups. You might want to keep that top secret. They definitely have a unique sound of their own. Good for you guys! You never know. You should probably put a patent on that idea before someone steals it. Sorry about your loss.

[@vorpalblades]

Neodymium pickups have been around for quite some time now.

[@donaldkuryliw431]

I know that but I’ve never seen them used on pickups. Maybe I’m wrong. I have them on several different speakers.

[@daviddaniels6473]

Sorry about your loss y'all. Been looking forward to hearing her pickups.

[@imaginaryfriend9655]

We are So so sorry for your loss Sean... Sending Love across the Pond to you and Cathy from over here in Yorkshire, UK

[@eyeofamon]

I was thinking that was a lot of magnets, and Neodymium is even more powerful than the most powerful ceramic. The visible rails you see on top of a Dimarzio X2N is not the magnets.

[@13JDOG666]

I forgot it was a hollowbody for a minute. When you were routing out the control cavity and the bit broke through it startled me.😆

[@LaVitaNuova]

I'm in love with Kathy's pickups . . . WHAT A SOUND! If the magnetic strength issue can be resolved, I'd have a set of those pickups in a heartbeat! As for gorgeous Hammy, he is no longer in any pain or discomfort, and I have no doubt that he remains by your side, tiny tail wagging, enjoying all your videos and workshop shenanigans. God Bless all three of you!

[@rellikguitars7237]

So sad to hear of your loss. We lost our old girl Rosie a couple of weeks ago. They are the best friend you can have. Love you videos and love how you keep it real. 💜💜💜💜💜💜 Sarah xx ... Australia

[@petercase9583]

Thank you for the wood shop class, I love it so.

[@steveroberts]

Sean. I started watching your channel in the horrible lockdown times. You never disappoint. Now that Kathy's involved, it makes your channel even better.

[@joestahl9102]

March 1st 2024 we lost our dog as well God bless you and your Mrs. I love what you both do keep rocking

[@mikemarak2613]

Was practically coughing on the sanding dust😂. Sorry about Hammy, remember all the good times you shared, it makes it a little easier ❤️‍🩹

[@richardcheramie3394]

I'm sorry to hear about Hammy! I have a 15 year old weenie dog. I love him! I enjoy watching your videos and would love to join, but I'm a Cancer patient and really can't afford to join. I had to sell my expensive Gibson Lp and a few other Guitars to help pay for my treatments but I would not part with my 61 Reissue sg! But I've been playing guitar for over 50 years and watching your videos, I've learned a lot of knowledge from you on different repairs and setups! I want to join and probably do it even if I really shouldn't! Thanks to you and your wife for the knowledge of the Guitar technology world! Thank you!😎🎸

[@johny3barr]

Great Video as Always ! That Guitar is Looking Amazing, Will it have a Set of Cathy's Pickups in it ? Have a Great Sunday Sean, Cathy, & Everyone Scarred ...

[@susanholt56]

God bless little Hammy...He is with all the other loved dogs waiting for you, I promise you he will be the first "person" to say Ive missed you!!!! Let's do a show dedicated to him...The perfect guitar would be a Gretsch style...big and bulky, sounding like the angles in heaven!!!!

[@bronzesnake7004]

Try routing the initial carve out then level it back with the sander bro. I was a cabinet and furniture builder for a few years and I was always looking for faster, easier, cleaner ways to do stuff, so just a suggestion! You do excellent work!! Jack ~'()'~ Canada

[@reddove108]

Sean, I know that pain you and Kathy are feeling. In my life I've found nothing hurt as much as the loss of an always faithful friend and companion. My best wishes to both of you. On a happier note, really enjoying the channel. I have one of those Mitchell LP guitars, the first LP-like guitar I've ever played. I absolutely love it.

[@bill-the_virtual-deal-maker]

Sorry for your loss Cathy and Sean

[@danrunnoft6642]

Sorry for the loss of your family member. My wife and I have a dog that is pretty much the center of our universe as well. It's so sad that dogs don't live longer.

[@slo5283]

I'm sorry for Your loss -- may Hammie's memory be a blessing to You both -- and yes i like what You do and want to see all that

[@brianwilliams8475]

Sorry for your loss. It's hard for people who don't know that they are our children who never grow up and leave. They are our heart and can like any family members loss a while to accept and come to terms with

[@b.rodclark334]

Ain't nothing that wax potting can't fix and my deepest condolences for your loss.

[@frankweber6716]

Watched Kathy's video this morning and just watched this one and could not stop thinking about your loss. So sorry!!

[@bobgambill6495]

I think going by look and feel is the only way to build anything. I thought you would have used the CFC machine on the top. Pretty neat how to use the wheel to make that contour

[@Sm0kn]

Love the free hand work. Allways brings me some peace in my day to get a little scarred😋Sorry about your loss. I went through the same thing a year ago. Sometimes you'll remember stuff and it will bring a tear to your eyes of the joy you shared🥰

[@marcw1013]

Sean, I am sorry for your loss. I lost my boxer few years ago and he will forever be in my heart. Just discovered your channel. Love watching your videos. Your so down to earth and natural. New subscriber. Dude, awesome tools

[@e.scottdaugherty8291]

I've watched you do things that caused a "Of course, why didn't I?" response [plaining off a fretboard if you're not gonna reuse it comes to mind]. Amazing how losing your dawg feels like they were a child. Outstanding channel.

[@zubeystinzen540]

A good man with a great lady making guitars for the people ❤ God bless the thankless love of a loyal friend past. Run free forever ❤❤❤

[@TimRock1269]

Sean, she's definitely on to something. I think she should try half the magnets and see what that does. Then, one set with 6 to see which is the best. They sound Awesome!

[@cigarboxskinny1154]

Love these build videos

[@chuckjcarter]

That color and finish looked great, man! It's gonna be interesting to see your bidness partner's journey on them pickups. Could be a new innovation!

[@timmysome]

Your a man that knows how to utilize his hand tools ⚒ great job 😁

[@DavidHBurkart]

If ya don't experiment, nothing new gets made. Good on ya Cathy!!

[@charlescarter9597]

What a nice job! I'm lovin the color. I'm a sucker for a blue guitar.

[@alioth2021]

I too had a frenchy growing up. His name was Amos. We had him for about two years before he passed away. Apparently heart problems are very common for the breed, as well as respiratory issues. I'm sorry for your loss of a best friend. I know how that stings.

[@GaryArmstrongmacgh]

That's cool how smart your wife is Sean.

[@RandalSmith]

Sorry for your loss, Sean and Cathy. Remember the good times. It makes it a little easier.

[@zacharykim295]

What an interesting experiment! Got a kick out of hearing the springs through the pickups.

[@davidqueen5098]

I am sorry about your loss. I am praying for you all 🐾🐾❤️✝️

[@Music-wt8ml]

Nice sand work there guys 😊

[@TheGuitologist]

Excellent video as always. RIP Hammy!

[@scarmyguitar]

Thank you

[@bronzesnake7004]

Oh dude I am so sorry you lost you boy. I lost my Victorian Old English Bulldog Betty two years ago and my heart is still crushed, so you both are in my prayers. Jack ~'()'~ Canada

[@rdextraze]

So sorry to hear about your pup Sean and Cathy😢

[@Nothing-gv8mv]

Can you imagine back in the day having to do all that work with just hand tools. It's almost mind-blowing 🤯 You can call those refrigerator pickups Magnetos. Like the super villain. Could you put a cover over those pickups to reduce magnetic pull?

[@squirrel-1969]

Sorry to hear that your little scar my guitar pup is no longer with you. It's difficult losing a beloved pet so suddenly. Very cool carve top custom Tele by the way, and those fridge magnet pick ups have a sort of a Charlie Chirstian vibe to them! Kudos to Kathy for her inventiveness!

[@windslipper]

Thank you, Sean & Cathy!!!

[@Roy_Gaber]

Sweet! You do good work Sean and Cathy. Once Cathy has those Scarbuster pickups tuned in there's going to be an explosion of orders for them, you wait and see. Thanks for another great video y'all.

[@steev3d]

I had a feeling that there would be a lot of pull in those magnets. Quote from Wikipedia "Some high-output pickups employ very strong magnets, thus creating more flux and thereby more output. This can be detrimental to the final sound because the magnet's pull on the strings (called string capture) can cause problems with intonation as well as damp the strings and reduce sustain." If you just used 1 or 2 with a single piece of flat steel on its side like a blade glued on its edge to the flat side of the magnets (to make a T cross section) that could work. If you look up single coil blade pickups on google you will see what I mean.

[@w.llawrence86]

Sorry for your loss.....

[@pedroleal7118]

Hey Sean, Hope you're doing ok !

[@puppygadget3189]

🙏❤🐕❤🙏 Hammy you will never be forgotten 🙏💔😢

[@stephensmith821]

Sorry about your loss buddy, i know there family.

[@Johnny_Mad-Eye]

As a guy who used a drill-mounted wire brush to "route" a hole for extra controls and wiring in my Epiphone SG special zebra (one of only 500 made), I'm all for experimental and unconventional work methods, I'm also fairly certain I have some sort of reverse-ocd, never liked things too "perfect".

[@scarmyguitar]

Me too!

[@Lokken151]

Loved the sand-carve approach, you were making lots of man glitter with that one!

[@puppygadget3189]

Wow, great job Sean. What a beautiful guitar. 🎸🎸

[@jimburgess9205]

Cathy did wax pot them. She did it on her channel.

[@spaguy007]

It always takes a few times around the drawing board to create perfection.

[@tdlvsabs]

ive seen both videos and if she can get the the magnets down to where they are not pulling any more i would give a pair a try, love they way they sound. I may be wrong but since those type of magnets are stronger, she may be able to make them so thin that they might even fit thin guitars like squier affinity,s with the 1 1/2" bodies. get after it!

[@jbux1983]

Really sorry about your little baby. We have a little girl pug/chihuahua mix and she's our whole world! I understand your loss. Again sorry for your loss.

[@emilychristoff9404]

I’m sorry about the loss of Hammy, I lost my precious Shepherd 2 years ago she was 12 1/2 years old… I’m still grieving…it helped me a little to save another shepherd…maybe rescue a French Bull Dog that needs a home, that’s what I did in her memory. Sometimes our dogs pick out a dog and give us the sign, you’ll know…I know it stings right now…but allow yourself time to grieve it’s your right to do so. Prayers for you and Cathy 🙏☦️

[@mikepeshel4055]

Sorry for your loss. Love these videos and now with the pick up !!!!

[@twsw9449]

We lost our baby 2 years ago and it's still not any easier. Our hearts go out to you, and how can we find out the prices on your guitars also seems that Cathy has a good hold on how to make pick-ups thanks your friends from South Carolina and even my wife watches your show with me

[@matthewridgeway9250]

Awe sum! Love your wife gettin' into guitars . You are a cool couple for sure!

[@CarsInDimension]

I've made usable pickups with a single small, 1/4" diameter by 1/8" N52 neodymium magnet for each string.

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Oh no, im so sorry you lost your dog, i know id be real sad if and when we lose ours. Ive grown real close to ours, hes a golden retriever/poodle mix and hes absolutely awesome. Great video, i always look forward to new uploads!!❤

[@HEMI42652]

Wow beautiful work!!

[@bill-the_virtual-deal-maker]

If he keeps on slackin Cathy give him a wackin, Because those pickups sound aswersome!

[@notlikethatbro2948]

It ain't gotta look good, it just cain't look bad! Love this channel!!

[@MR3JOBS]

Awesome thank you for posting, I always wondered about stronger magnets. Your on to something, I always wanted to try a volume control nob but not for volume, but to control the strength of the magnet in the pickup. You guys are inspiring thanks for all the hard work

[@manderson9289]

Just lost my girl a couple of years ago...she was my best friend for 15 years. Praying for you homie.

[@DMBFAN90]

So sorry to hear about your pup! Ive been there. I lost my pitbull when he was only 6. He was my best friend in the world. its truly losing a family member. I wish the best for you and cathy my friend!

[@WickedFesterBand]

I try to do it the right way and I still scar it! 😂

[@VeitLehmann]

Really nice finish! I'm currently on a custom bass build for me, and I'm planning to do a very similar finish on it. I don't have such an awesome flamed maple top, it's white limba, aka korina. But if all goes well, we're getting some really nice flamed maple for the neck! And it will get neodymium pickups as well, as in your demo in the end. But we're going for only 1 layer, so there will be no string pull issue.

[@martymcpeak4748]

great looking and sounding pups, did the Mrs. wax pot them? that tends to go a long way in helping to helping with them not being microphonic. Cheers Brother

[@Rocknrollrecoverist]

Hey Sean sup ma man 🙂good vibes coming at ya from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I am so so sorry about your wee dog man 😔🙏🏼. They truly are man’s best friend. Well the dug n the misses anyways of which I have neither. It’s a lonely road man lol The tele looks killer my friend,as you putting the black on I was sat here shouting blue at ya 😂 It’s a nice thing. I like a blue flame top when the flames are popping with white the way those on your tele do with the black,I think that looks awesome.👌🏼 I’m dying to see these pick ups ya good lady makes with the fridge magnets

[@leblancmarcel]

So sorry to hear that Hammy passed, you had mentioned he had health issues recently. I only hope he didn't suffer long and just know he is now happy in Doggie Heaven, bless him.

Maybe those pickups would work better in a Bass guitar. 😉 The Stain on that guitar came our real nice.

Hey Sean, I’m really sorry to hear that my heart goes out to you and your wife. It’s hard losing a four-legged furry friend.

[@davepugh7961]

Yea, less magnets. But they do sound 👍 Gotta love when the unconventional idea leads to something good. Sorry for your loss. As a guy who has lost several special animals over the years, I gotta say that it sucks that the really good ones can't stay with us our whole lives.

Hey Shawn it's great to watch your channel. I do love the builds you do and the pickup your wife makes. I'm in Brooksville fl. If your ever out this way I'd like to talk to ya bout a custom build.

You remind me of my dad, a master cabinet maker who always who always answered the statement " you can"t do that" with one word... "watch!"

[@Incaensio]

Neodymium magnets are interesting 🤔

[@brettbunke9096]

That’s one steady hand right there 😊

[@jeremywalker666]

I believe those pickups would be more suited for metal. Deeper pickup pockets so the magnetic sweet spot could be achieved and crank the distortion. I'd like to see how the feedback and harmonics perform with it being that microphonic. Might push it to the limit by using them in a hollow or semi-hollow body like Gary Clark Jr.

[@rafaelcuadra5009]

I feel your loss, really. Love dogs.
