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

[@archaicrevivalsYTchannel]

Rainbow Bridge

[@mikeg6666]

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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@b.rodclark334]

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

[@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.

[@michaelmonstre]

@@donaldkuryliw431 I know HeavymetalATC (on YT) makes em- don't know if he sells them though.

[@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.😆

[@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 ❤️‍🩹

[@daviddaniels6473]

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

[@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 ...

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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 🙏☦️

[@manderson9289]

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

[@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

[@Lokken151]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@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!😎🎸

[@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.

[@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?

[@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

[@TheGuitologist]

Excellent video as always. RIP Hammy!

[@scarmyguitar]

Thank you

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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🥰

[@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.

[@billulman3254]

Sorry for your loss Cathy and Sean

[@petercase9583]

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

[@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!

[@jeffrowlette]

Last weekend I had to put down my friend...he was a stray that stayed for 11 years. RIP Buster.

[@zacharykim295]

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

[@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!!!!

[@DaveFromTyler]

Love you guys...

[@scarmyguitar]

Love you too brother..

[@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!

[@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.

[@Music-wt8ml]

Nice sand work there guys 😊

[@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.

[@billulman3254]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@picksalot1]

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

[@DavidHBurkart]

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

[@RKseekeroftruth]

Really sorry to hear about your Puppin Sean & Kathy (excuse me if I spelled yer names wrong). I know how important our animal companions are and years later still miss them dearly. Also just like to thank you folks for just being you...means a lot.

[@frankweber6716]

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

[@timmysome]

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

[@rdextraze]

So sorry to hear about your pup Sean and Cathy😢

[@charlescarter9597]

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

[@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.

[@spaguy007]

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

[@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

[@puppygadget3189]

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

[@stephensmith821]

Sorry about your loss buddy, i know there family.

[@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.

[@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!

[@puppygadget3189]

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

[@davedean1571]

Condolences for the loss of Yuns little furry buddy man. I’m a dog guy myself & can relate… Shalom Aleichem

[@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.

[@birdman316]

great "woodwerkin" brother! yaa once cathy finds the perfect "recipe" for them pups she needs to see about applying for a patent....sounds like shes onto something huge!

[@vorpalblades]

Neodymium pickups are not a new thing.

[@windslipper]

Thank you, Sean & Cathy!!!

[@jimburgess9205]

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

[@CarsInDimension]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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 ❤❤❤

[@pedroleal7118]

Hey Sean, Hope you're doing ok !

[@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.

[@bernhardnizynski4403]

So very sorry about the loss of your beloved little dog - we lost our 16 y/o one month ago - absolutely heartbreaking!

[@notlikethatbro2948]

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

[@davidqueen5098]

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

[@w.llawrence86]

Sorry for your loss.....

[@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!!❤

[@Incaensio]

Neodymium magnets are interesting 🤔

[@mholly1973]

It’s crazy cause I was just checking frets in a guitar and noticed my dog looking sad and stairing off out the window watching where he seen his brother last like he’s still waiting for him so it just choked me up so I get on here and this is the first vid that pops up , crazy like how the fuck , it was all in my head yet KZbin found it 😂

[@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.

[@charlotteglover2159]

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.

[@scarmyguitar]

Right on . You can always message me on Instagram or Facebook for custom orders. I seriously don't do traveling estimates lol

[@deanbartone8187]

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. I have three dogs, nine cats and a hell of a lot of chickens and anytime one of them passes. It breaks our hearts to pieces so nothing but lovestay positive you guys will get through it. I’m sure you know that.❤❤❤

[@lazylester1]

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!"

[@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

[@radkeela2]

Cathy needs to make lots of those HammyBuckers

[@WickedFesterBand]

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

[@bpabustan]

I saw how the pickups made by Missus. And I am impressed. Here's the question: the tone is really happening but the magnet pull is so strong, is there a way to lessen the magnet pull while retaining the tone?

[@Charlie-h7x]

I know this is a month old video just wanted to say I feel for you. I just had the same thing and it’s something a lot of people just don’t understand. Those little ones are family

[@matthewridgeway9250]

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

[@ikespivitz5136]

It do sound good !

[@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.

[@daleturner3507]

Put one of the pickups in an Esquire or Les Paul Junior. Just a bridge pickup!

[@jasonjones7461]

Now THAT just may be the best wife I have ever seen

[@HEMI42652]

Wow beautiful work!!

[@mikepeshel4055]

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

[@jeffreydooley3745]

Kathys pups are "twang a licious". I'd love to hear them with some distortion.
