Make ur OWN ELECTRIC GUITAR from scratch (almost)

it is cool....... hell yeah..........

 

hey havoc why dont u put a pic of the guitar tht u made.... since almost every1 is askin for a pic why dont u post one.....lets see how ur work is...

 

dats too easy man! jus a bit of physics!

 

:nw: havoc ...dunno how much i can work it out but yeahhhh awesome dude :nw:

 

man u r a genius

 

Something to ur aid

Problems understanding the wiring of the guitar. Well i dont know the internal part of the guitar but am really inspired by ur doings. i am designing my guitar right now.

Heres a file i posted earlier but this time please someone go thru it and explain to me the stuff.

and BTW can u give me a step-by-step guide to build the pick-up.

 

so now no one is interest or what

 

Nice to see this thread back and alive after a long time.

 

Harsh what is it that you want expained in thoise schematics ? Guitar wirings can go from any thing down to earth simple with one pickup with absolutly no tone or volume controls to ENDLESS swithing systems.. I like to keep mine simple with one volume and one tone control

 

see even i dont mean what that means, i thought u guys knew it, if u do then explain me this stuff. i still cannot figure out how u made the pickups and how do u add the volume and tone controls.

please can someone re-explain the stuff.

 

can ne1 plz re type the how to make the pickup again. Reps gauranteed for satisfactory reply

 

theroticaly speaking making one is simple.. Practicalyy it involves lots and lots of patience....

 

Harsh I asked you whihc scematic you want to understand... Nobody is going to explain each and every scematic... and I think the scematics are very simple to understand.... a wire from the pickup goes to a switch whihc is connected to a volume and tone control.....

the most basic pickup would be a lots and lots and lots of copper wire ( almost as thin as your hair or may be thinner) wraped around a bar of steel with a magnet attached to the bottom...... Sounds simple... but try wraping all that wire around without breaking it and precisly,,,,

 

i rapped the wire on a bar magnet. what to do with its ends.........

and BTW whats this piezo element

 

^^^ how much wire ? you need to wrap a lot of wire and properly for it too work... As I said this is easier said then done...... that is why we have CRAPY pickups and GREAT PICKUPS... To many wraps and a very very powerfull magent will choke the strings.. too little and you wont get enough output.. Alos the gauge of the wire will make a diff in the tone and output.. so will the strength of the magnet.

 

i have an average magnet, some good Cu wire (as thin as hair). i wraped till i got a 1.5cm height from the magnet.
what do i do with the ends of the wire.

and BTW are both the ends of the wire to be left open. wat to do
plz help

 

one end is for out put the other end needs to go to ground....

 

cool..... this thread stil lives... havent been on this thread for about a year.......COOL...

 

^ Bwahahahaaaaaaaa

Ego trip ...
