Really need to make more Sentinels, so why not do

Really need to make more Sentinels, so why not do a flash sale? Use the coupon code Sentinel25 on the website for 25% off the Sentinel model, as well as all in stock products. Sale ends on Monday!

This Sentinel bridge, Javelin set got optioned with brushed Sentinel rails, matte black bobbins, an A5 neck pickup, and black hex poles in the Javelin. Customer also needed direct mount, so the tabs have been modified to be triangular, as well as drilled out for direct mounting.

The Hellfire set was optioned with white bobbins, black hex poles, triple ceramic bridge and A5 neck. White with black hex is one of my favorite standard looks, just always so aggressive but classic.

Made a custom mount for the custom 5 string J styl

Made a custom mount for the custom 5 string J style bass set I'm wrapping up, came out pretty cool so figured I'd share.

Already heard how these pickups sound, and yeah I love them, can't wait to record a demo for them, should have that by tomorrow.

These are hum canceling, use 1/4" A5 slugs, and are wound with both 42 and 43AWG wire. The 3 string 42AWG coil is staggered between the two pickups, and while they're wound the same, this staggered setup means the customer could swap the pickup positions around and get a different sound. I'm all about giving customers options.

Heading into the weekend with this insane looking

Finished up a fun order yesterday. Customer has

RGMS8 sets always come out so nice, this one is no

RGMS8 sets always come out so nice, this one is no exception.

This @officialibanezguitars optimized RGMS8 set features our Hellfire wind, with triple ceramic magnets in the bridge position, A5 in the neck position, black hex poles, and black fiberboard tops.

I wish more companies would make proper multiscale pickups like this one, custom fit bobbins always look so much better than soapbar or rail pickups. The RGMS7 is the same way, and I appreciate it.

If you have a favorite multiscale guitar, what is it? I love the RGMS7 personally, but I'm a sucker for a good RG.

Glad I copied the text because Instagram keeps nuking it from my posts, for fucks sake.

Clear bobbins are always fun, but they're made eve

Clear bobbins are always fun, but they're made even more fun with a black chrome open faced cover.

This pickup was custom ordered with a wind I don't even offer anymore, the K2A. This wind packs a scorching 27k DCR coil with an A2 magnet, giving the pickup a medium output and great clarity when the gain is cranked. Customer also wanted black nickel slugs in the south coil and black hex in the north coil.

Decided to make a really quick demo before I ship this order. This was recorded using Fortin Nameless X and NTS suite, EZ Drummer 3, and I used my Yamaha BB235 for the bass line.

Would you mess with a super high wind, medium output pickup like the K2A?

Instagram stop deleting my fucking text challenge, impossible.

Did another bass video this morning, watch for flying hats!

This one is the song Behind Closed Doors by my friends in @skullrzbane out of Niles, OH, definitely check them out, they're making some really awesome music. Their album, The Architects of Silence, is available on all the streaming platforms.

What should have been an easy set has been the ban

What should have been an easy set has been the bane of my existence for the last week. These letters were the cutouts from the original FUCK TRUMP set, and the FUCK TRUMP pickup came out great first try, but I've had to remake the ABOLISH MAGA top 3 times now.

Still, these came out amazing. Customer spec'd black chrome open faced covers, Javelin wind, and A5 magnets in both positions.

Instagram keeps removing the text for my posts, so I have to edit it in after the fact, which is super fucking frustrating. Sharing this post will help me defeat the draconian algorithm, so please consider giving it a share.

Decided to make a video of me practicing one of my bands more challenging songs, Godless and Wicked by Blood Coven, the full 6:21 video is up now on YT.

I'm using my 1993 Ibanez SR885 for this video, it's loaded with a custom J/MM hybrid humbucker set. Each pickup has a mix of 10mm A5 poles and 3/16” A5 poles, I built them with radiused quilted maple tops stained blue, and also built a radiused ramp that I installed in between the pickups.

The strings are @sitstrings flats with a 0.130 low string, tuned C standard. Amp is my Fender Rumble 350 running direct into my interface, and they only effect in the chain is compression.

As ever, any interaction you can give to my posts is always appreciated, my business lives and dies by the algorithm in this current technofuedalist hellscape we find ourselves in. I'm doing my best to branch out to hopefully get out of algorithmic hell, but still need your help to do that. Thanks for everything 🤘

The first long form video is now live on our YouTube channel 🤘

In this video I go through the build process on a 7 string Tele style pickup set, built to fit in a humbucker routed guitar. Video is around 25 minutes long, and features music by me. I also mention what kind of content is coming up at the end of the video.

Liking, sharing, and subscribing is a huge help, I appreciate all the support so far. Hopefully this channel can get some views so I can do more video content going forward.

Been working on this order for a bit this week, to

Been working on this order for a bit this week, took a little longer than expected, but I also filmed my first YouTube video with the Tele set.

That will come out a bit later, right now it's a bit over half an hour of raw footage, but I'll walk you through the custom pickup making process, a little behind the scenes look at my job. If that video does well I'll wind up doing more build videos, I've got several non-standard builds that could be pretty interesting.

On this order, customer ordered a Tele set, and when I emailed the customer to check baseplate fitment, expecting to build a standard Tele set, customer informed me the guitar was an RG7, so I was able to change the design to fit in a standard humbucker. There's a lot of air space in the neck pickup, so I stuff the open space with foam so when I wax potted the pickup the wax would stay in. I'll show more when I drop the YouTube video, but this was a fun build. I love doing non-standard stuff like this.

Same customer also ordered a 7 string noiseless HSP90 set with A5 magnets, and an A5 Javelin bridge, both having black hex poles and black fiberboard tops.

These are on their way to Canada currently, can't wait to hear what the customer thinks 🤘

Given I'm trying to do more video, I'm also going

Given I'm trying to do more video, I'm also going to try to do more demos, using my old riffs. This is a riff I wrote in 2020 at the height of the pandemic.

The guitar is a hand built Elysian Guitars Espada, 25.5" scale with a black limba body, roasted maple fretboard on a maple/bubinga/maple 3 piece neck, and has my Valkyrie wind in it, ceramic bridge and A5 neck.

The bass is my 1993 Ibanez SR885, I adore the narrow string spacing on it, with super custom J/MM humbuckers with custom quilted maple ramps built on top of them.

This is recorded in Reaper, EZ Drummer 3 is providing the drums, and the tones are a mix of Fortin Nameless X and Fortin NTS.

These Valkyries are pretty fantastic for thrash and death, especially the chugs. Just love this set for what I play.

Sorry about the framing, will be better in future videos.

The more I make of these Progress Flag covers the

The more I make of these Progress Flag covers the better I'm getting at fitting the acrylic together. Really happy with this one.

We've got a strange one here too, this is a middle position Valkyrie! Features A5 bar magnets, black hex poles underneath the Progress flag, and a nice shiny open faced chrome cover.

Went out and caught some live music last night, and saw this guy playing a Squier Katana! Sounded amazing too, not sure what pickup he had in it, was some kind of dual rail P pickup. Sounded absolutely MASSIVE.

Walt is still having trouble with whatever hip or leg ailment he's got. When I can budget it I need to get him to the vet. He's still in good spirits though, he even got a short walk this morning to keep things moving.

What is everyone getting up to this weekend? I'll be going to the Metal Massacre XV festival in Springfield PA this weekend, looking forward to seeing my buddies in Gouted Corpse on Saturday.

And as ever, I'm still being suppressed by the algorithm thanks to the FUCK TRUMP set, if you see this please consider interacting in some way, especially sharing. Newd some community support to keep this thing going while Meta is upset with me. Thanks everyone who helps out 🤘

To go along with doing more video content, Elysian

To go along with doing more video content, Elysian Pickups is now live on YouTube as well. Right now the only post is the video from today, and I'm sure most shorts/reels will be uploaded there, but I've also got some longer form content I'd like to do, if I can handle the editing 🤣

Like, share, and subscribe, as the YouTubers say, and maybe I can do something cool with this channel 🤘

Thanks as ever for the support, I'm excited for how this has been shaping up since leaving my day job. Gotta keep pushing forward.

Ever wonder how I make custom bobbins, like many o

Ever wonder how I make custom bobbins, like many of my multiscale offerings? Check out the process on this 7 string Tele bobbin set!

This printer is a Voron 2.4 350mm I built in 2022, and I've been upgrading it to its ultimate form ever since, most recently adding a Cartographer Eddy current probe and Stealthchanger toolchanging capabilities. I've got some other printers but the Voron is my main, and by far the most capable.

The tool changing allows me to use a different material for the support interface, allowing for very clean removal and post processing. A few swipes with a file and a small amount of hand sanding and these bobbins are ready to wind.

Music is a song I recorded during the pandemic, believe it's on a Trident II set with one of my 7 string guitars. EZ Drummer 2 for the drums, and that's about it.

Anything else you want to see? I'm hoping to do more video content going forward, always open to suggestions.

Wrapped up a cool Valkyrie set this morning. Got a lot of awesome stuff coming up this week too.

This set features a purple topped A5 bridge pickup, red topped A2 neck pickup, black hex poles, and black logos.

Who had a good weekend? Mine was pretty excellent, caught some live music Saturday and hung out with some cool people.

The algorithm is still really limiting my reach, would really help me if you like, share, and comment. Really appreciate everyone who consistently try to help in this way.

My friend @attila_atf got his Anchang Star finished up this week, and wow what a guitar!

He's got @futone bridge upgrades, as well as a set of our pickups, a ceramic Trident II/Hellfire Hybrid in the bridge position and an A5 Valkyrie neck pickup.

Just a fantastic guitar, and I'm sure Allen will make some incredible music with it. I've known Allen for over 20 years and always looked up to him as a player 🤘

Do you like P?

Bass, that is.

Just wrapped up a reverse P pickup. This one is wound to around 12k DCR, uses ceramic bar magnets, with nickel hex poles and black covers.

Do you like your P more vintage style or a little hotter? I love a hot P.

This post got real weird.

Wrapped up a noiseless P90 heading to Canadia this morning.

This pickup has A5 bar magnets, a traditional P90 soapbar housing in black, and gold hex poles. Pure class through and through.

Do you prefer soapbar, dogear, or humbucker sized P90s?
