A rather fuzzy but informational video, how I wind my pickups from start to finish. Here you see me wind a Stratocaster Mid pickup.

Hear them!

  • Go to guitarpartsusa(dotcom) for cheap stuff. stewmac is overpriced.

  • wait.... what did Crystal say?!

  • jajaj super good technique ¡¡ you are AMAZING 

  • were do u get the materials from

  • @rockexpert make two, put them together= hummbucker

  • @Geraldandsons I'm no expert, but I think a piezo pickup will work better on your snare. Plus they're cheap and simple.

  • @Geraldandsons thank you for the inspiration!!

  • @Geraldandsons Found it!

  • Hey, great video. I'm not into electronics that much, I was wondering( I guess it's a pretty stupid question), but is it possible to get a single snare pickup using this technique? Maybe by winding a coil around one magnetized metal "pickup pin"? I'm asking this cause I would like my snares to have there own signal...It's a long story..Maybe you know a site where this theory is explained ? I'm not good in googling this one. Thx

  • Thanks, that was amazing!
