The frets have leads connected to them and the bridge is the ground, that way the LEDs would have a complete circuit when the strings touch the frets?
Dude, If I want to install a couple of active pick ups to a guitar who has passive hum's, do I have to carve another hole for the 9v or can I put it inside the hole on the back for the hum's?
as far as I'm aware, the case is just for easy replacement of a battery. you could just as easily wire it up in harware cavity if there is enough room to tape it down somewhere.
@iPedoBear69 it took me about 9 months, but i only worked on it every two weeks or so. The body is a solid piece of mahogany, but there are no rules for it, i've seen people using 3 or 4 types, or even more
Wtf. This is my creation and my 'invention', no company ever got involved. I'd really appreciate it if you'd give me the link. Thanks a lot for telling me this!
I drilled a tiny little hole through the fret slots, and put one of the led leads through it. These must then be bend down, so they lay down in the slot. Then you tap in the fret and you're done ;)
The led leads are pretty long, so I was able to put the led under the inlay and still manage to get a bit of lead sticking out of the hole that I drilled through the fret slot.
O.o im about half way through making a guitar as a school project and just thought id consider led's, that looks sik when they light up as you play the fret, but it looks a bit too difficult. good work
I was wondering what kind of wiring is best suited for installing LEDS and this particular application and if some sort of circuit is needed and recommended. On the guitar I mentioned before that had one of the LEDS fail, a simple toggle on and off switch is what was used. I would appreciate any help you can offer and hope to hear from you soon...
how did u get the leds to lightup when pressed, if no reply! im calling a fake and gay! and i dont want to have to do that to some one of your tallent!
Dude relax :P Its pretty simple actually. The strings and fret act as a switch. One end of the circuit is connected to the strings, and the other end is connected to a specific fret. When the string is pressed down on the right fret, it completes the circuit ... and then there was light. There's a wiring diagram in the video description, shouldn't be too difficult to understand if you have some basic knowledge about electronics.
@koenbus haha thx and my brother is a electricion :P so he should know XD and is it simple to do it to say a ibanez neck? like how would i get it all down and get just simple leds in? and how do you take the fret dots out? and once again awesome work!! and would i need to drill out my neck? i just got a ibanez rg350m which i want leds in but websites charge insane amounts!!! + im only 13 so i cant get a job for the money :P
Well its not strange that they ask large amounts of money, it's pretty labour intensive to do it. If you'd like to do it to an ibanez neck, you have to steam off the fretboard. There's a good tutorial on this at projectguitar . com . Then you have to carve out a channel using a router, where all the electronics can be put in, and you have to make holes for the LEDs and put them in. Then you have to glue it all back together. It not easy, believe me!
I just 'hammer-on-ed' the notes with my left hand, and they sustain quite long thanks to the amount of gain. The notes are interrupted using the killswitch, that gives it that stuttery sound
Well its all improv so there are no tabs. But by looking at what I did, i'd say the last few notes are --7--5---2---3- on the low E string. You have to figure out the timing yourself ;)
ok i need a free wring diagram for somthing evidently a little strange, i want sinlg coil bridge and middle and humbucker neck,but i want bridge and middle on1 volume neck on another and a master tone standerd 5way switch etc. if anyone can hook me up pls do.thax
Dunno i'm just improvising ;) and i don't build for other people than myself for 2 reasons:
- I dont have the time and tools anymore, since I moved out of my parents house
- I'm not experienced enough: I came up with some cool ideas which turned out great IMO, but i can't yet build perfect guitar without flaws, and I'm not too good at the paint and polishing thing yet
Yeah theyre pretty good for metal stuff. Nice high output HB's, definetely a bang for the buck, but of course a DiMarzio or EMG would be better... but would set you back at least twice as much
Bro.... HOw much money did you spend on this guitar? It's awesome, I gotta say. That's a killer LED too. Not my thing, but I'd love to you play a show with that thing lol.
It was a kind of a dilemma, but I chose to paint it because the wood contained a lot of holes and got heavily scratched during the building. I definitely learned to be more careful with my wood.
@koenbus It is VERY important to be careful with your wood. You want to make sure that you handle it with a soft touch ; ) Awesome guitar, by the way. Where did you get that LED system? I take it the frets somehow complete a circuit when touched by the strings? Totally wicked, dude
Its a fairly simple circuit I designed a few years ago, it uses the strings and frets as switches to complete the circuit. A diagram is in the vid description.
This may sound newb but it seems like it would be hard to get the geometry right on the fret board. Like getting the guitar in tune then the notes coming out right on the frets. I'm probably thinking too much. Nice job eitherway dude ,fing sweet leds.
Dude I dont build for anyone but myself, since i havent developed all the skills needed to make perfect guitar. It's kind of a learning proces for me. And i no longer have the time to build anyway ;)
i want LED's but I want it to be like a design that takes over the whole neck sorta like the tree of life and a have a switch. Imagine how much easier that would be to play in the dark. I already got glow in the dark fret markers but that aint nothing compared to LED's. How much does it cost to do this kinda stuff? I mean the LED's.
dude that is fuckin sweet, i wana put LEDs in my first guitar! but what i would do is make a slot ABOVE the neck so it wouldn't screw with my playing if they popped up!
I drilled small 1 mm holes right through the fret slots, and took one of the LED leads and put it through the hole. Then I pushed the lead down into the fret slot, and tapped the fret in. The lead wants to 'spring' back up, and will therefore always touch the fret without actually soldering or glueing it toghether.
could you please look at my homemade guitar part 1# cuz you vid is the first homemade guitar vid i wached and you relly know what your doing plz have a look and help me out
Hey dat is echt de coolste gitaar die ik ooit gezien heb. ik ga ook me eigen gitaar bouwen en ik vroeg me af hoe je dat doet met als je de fretten indrukt dat ze dan aangaan?
It set me back about 250-300 euro's. That thing is a killswitch, a simple pushbutton that shortcircuits the guitar, killing the signal. And no this is nog harmful for the guitar or amp ;)
that LED idea was really awesome. when you make another one; you can find guitar effects circuit schematics online, and you should put them inside the body for even more effects control. so on top of a kill switch you could have on-board delay, distortion, fuzz, or wah or something along those lines.
I know, in fact i've built a few effects already now ;) and I've been thinking about putting a distortion in a guitar, but that makes switching a bit harder since you can no longer use your foot. And you can never use it with another guitar, so thats why i prefer putting them in stompboxes
lol, deze mensen vinden je een soort god ofzo :P hehe, maarja hij is ook wel mooi ;) ik hoorde dat je alweer een nieuwe had? heb je daar ook foto's of video van?
I wasn't expecting to enjoy the video as much as I did. Designing and making it especially with those extra features like leds and a killswitch was quite interesting and pretty cool. You're really talented!
that light thing is animal. i saw a guy with a guitar like that on britains got talent but woould it not get confusing when your playing on say the sixth fret and the fifth lights up?
Well, I'm modifying a Squier Jagmaster, (Alder Body), Making it single humbucker, and, I'm on a budget, and I want more output, but, I still want a good clean sound, but, I'm a little OCD, I like all pole pieces, pole pieces, no screws.
Well, I'm not looking for a PAF clean tone, I need something that sounds like a really bright clean tone, but, with either rails, or all pole pieces, no screws.
what happens to the leds when you have it so that they come on when you press the string, but you play really fast tremolo picking, can they keep up with it?
You dont really let go of the string when tremolopicking right ? It doesnt react to picking, only to pressing strings down. Anyway, they could definately keep up with it. The speed of the electric current is so quick (close to the speed of light) you would never be able to out-play it ;)
Nope, the fret (with LED and a resistor to get the voltage right) is connected to the positve battery pole, and the strings are connected to the negative pole. When you press down the string against the fret -> contact, LED lights up. In fact, the fret and string form a switch.
Did you ever experience any kind of buzzing issues from sharing a power ground with your audio ground? This idea is brilliant.

That would've cost a grand or so if you bought it from a manufacturer.

Do those pickups have a good clean sound?
StreakingInJanuary 2 years ago
They are pretty good at clean, but there better for heavy distortion sounds. PAF pickups are better for the clean work.

Well, I'm modifying a Squier Jagmaster, (Alder Body), Making it single humbucker, and, I'm on a budget, and I want more output, but, I still want a good clean sound, but, I'm a little OCD, I like all pole pieces, pole pieces, no screws.

You could try installing a boost control, not 100% on guitars but I know EMG do a boost for basses, probably works the same for guitars.

Well, I'm not looking for a PAF clean tone, I need something that sounds like a really bright clean tone, but, with either rails, or all pole pieces, no screws.

what happens to the leds when you have it so that they come on when you press the string, but you play really fast tremolo picking, can they keep up with it?
soupie 2 years ago
You dont really let go of the string when tremolopicking right ? It doesnt react to picking, only to pressing strings down. Anyway, they could definately keep up with it. The speed of the electric current is so quick (close to the speed of light) you would never be able to out-play it ;)

How do the LED's light up on contact? Sensors?
Rest1nPiece 2 years ago
Nope, the fret (with LED and a resistor to get the voltage right) is connected to the positve battery pole, and the strings are connected to the negative pole. When you press down the string against the fret -> contact, LED lights up. In fact, the fret and string form a switch.

Koen,
Waanzinnig gedaan!!
Waar heb je een beschrijving staan van deze kunstzinnige verbouwing?
Ik heb nl een Hohner Strat kopie en wilde deze ook gaan pimpen met wat led's ed.
Nu lijkt me dit een geweldig idee...
Fantastisch gedaan...
Groetjes Hans
