Here's that custom shop Javelin set I teased in the previous basically unviewed post.This set features a ceramic bridge magnet and A5 neck, black hex poles, and white 3d printed multiscale housings.

Hate to have to bust this out again, but after the abysmal views on my post this morning, I gotta do what's best for the business, because Meta products are trash.

One thing I've noticed since posting about Trump is my political posts get engagement, there are more eyes on them, and they get comments. I can't say the same for these kinds of posts. My core business can't get any eyes, no matter how interesting the pictures are. It's a really frustrating part of the Meta algorithm, it only rewards posts that are incendiary.

If you see my posts, please consider dropping a comment. This helps my business more than you know, it gets more eyes on my posts and expands my reach. I don't want to have to constantly post political posts to get eyes on my business.

This weekend wound up being the weekend of the Valkyrie.

Finished up these two custom shop Valkyrie sets late last night, and damn I'm happy with how they came out. Also finished a standard Valkyrie 6 string set that's not pictured, and a custom shop Javelin set that I'll post later.

The green set features A5 magnets, nickel flathead pole pieces, sparkle green tops, and chrome open faced covers.

The cream set is a P90 sized set, featuring nickel flathead poles, A5 bridge, and A2 neck. We can actually do any of our winds in P90 housings, including dogear, custom shop only obviously.

What would you order if you went custom shop? Leave a comment, I love to hear people's ideas.

Hope everyone has a great Monday.

Got something a little different for the feed today.

My band, Blood Coven, is playing two shows this weekend. Come on out if you want to say hey, I'm always down to clown.

If you're in the Cleveland area we're playing at No Class tonight, doors at 8.

Our second show is Saturday night in Buffalo, NY, at Milkies, doors at 5.

Gold hex on black bobbins will never not be awesome.

This Trident 2 bridge is built to fit a Kiesel multiscale, and features a ceramic bar magnet.

I don't really have much else to say on this one, but what more do I need to say?

Bring back Abrego Garcia. Stop the dictator bullshit.

How about one from this weekend?

This Valkyrie set is for @deangordonguitars, the wrap on this is a mod to Aston Martin's racing livery. This is going in an Aston Martin inspired build.

This build features matte black bobbins, black hex poles, A5 bridge, and A2 neck magnets.

Check out this clear Valkyrie set from last weekend.

The Valkyrie features two different wire gauges hence why one coil has a standard copper wire (the 44awg coil), and the other has a red copper wire (the 42awg coil).

This set also features an A5 bridge, A2 neck, and nickel hex poles.

Hopefully everyone is having a great weekend, and can disconnect from the constant barrage of bullshit from this idiotic government. I really appreciate everyone who has stuck around when I made my stances widely known, and all the new folks who follow. There are still plenty of good people in this world, ya'll are a testament to that. I've got more stuff to show off this weekend, there's some really cool stuff coming, so check back later!

What have I been up to this weekend I know you're asking?

Well, here's some of the things I finished.

First set is a custom mini hum-Mini P90-Mini hum set for @akm_guitarworks, with ceramic bridge and neck pickups and an Alnico V P90. That P90 may be mini but it packs a full sized HSP90 coil. Mini form factor, mighty tone.

Second image is a clear Trident 2, has a ceramic bar, nickel hex poles, and has been made to be direct mounted.

Third image was some warranty work, customer said the pickup was very prone to feedback at high volume. I replaced the original M3 screws with set screw style hex screws, redid the wax potting, and put it back together.

And the final image is a zebra Trident 2 set, this one with A5 bar magnets, black hex poles, and direct mount baseplates.

What did you get up to this weekend? Anyone do anything fun, play any gigs?

Pulled out the fancy camera to show the texture, and also was informed by @deangordonguitars I had the wrong poles, so swapped the correct ones in.

Love being able to make cool stuff like this, it's very rewarding to flex my skills. This one definitely tested my abilities.

Just finished up this HSS Valkyrie set for @deangordonguitars.

This set was a challenge, not gonna lie. The tops are cnc cut brown Delrin, which is difficult to get to bond to other materials. Took a lot of trial and error to find a solution for that. The tops have a cross hatch texture on them, cut with a V bit on my CNC, made to have a similar effect to the watch the customer has.

This set features a ceramic bridge, A5 middle, and A2 neck. Can't wait to see the rest of the guitar they're going in, very chuffed with how the final product came out.

If you could have ANY material for the top of a set of pickups, what would you choose?

The orders finished this weekend make a bit of an Oreo.

First order is one for our friends at @xolocustomguitars. This one is a Trident bridge with ceramic bar magnet, nickel hex poles, and a white top.

Next set is a soapbar Valkyrie 7 string set, featuring A5 bar magnets and nickel hex poles.

Last order is a Trident 2 bridge, with ceramic bar magnet and black hex poles. Direct mount for fitment in an Ibanez Prestige.

How's everyone's weekend going? I'll have more finished tomorrow, but for now I'm watching my Dallas Stars take on the Philadelphia Flyers in a matinee game.

I can't cocobol-ieve how this set came out.

Sorry, I don't like puns either 🙄😂

Built this gorgeous cocobolo topped Valkyrie set for @reichardtguitars. This set features our Valkyrie wind, gold hex poles, and A5 magnets in both positions.

I cannot wait to see what they're going in, Nate's guitars are absolutely world class, some of the finest instruments I've ever played. If you're in the market for a custom guitar, give Nate's work a look, you won't be disappointed.

We are SO back. There's a bunch of orders wrappin

We are SO back.

There's a bunch of orders wrapping up, but check out this set optimized for the @officialjacksonguitars DKAF7.

This set features our Trident wind, gold hex poles, white tops, and ceramic bar magnet in the bridge and an Alnico V bar magnet in the neck. These are on their way to sunny California!

I'll have even more finished this weekend so keep an eye out for that. Thanks everyone in the queue for your patience while I was ill, it really means a lot to me, and proves I have some of the best customers out there.

Dumb is an understatement. This administration is

Dumb is an understatement. This administration is actively trying to put us in a recession. Fuck Trump, and fuck MAGA.

I've already heard from a current Canadian customer, they won't be ordering any US products where possible for as long as this shit is going on, so thanks Trump for again hurting my fucking business. I don't blame my Canadian customers AT ALL, I stand with them in solidarity against this garbage. Thanks for being customers in the past, and hopefully they'll be back in the future, but this fascist fuck stick is burning all the bridges he can while actively supporting Russia. This isn't America first, it's America last, and we the people are the ones getting fucked by it. Wake the fuck up, MAGA.

In other news, today was the first time in over two weeks I've legitimately felt well, let's get this thing back on track. If you're in a tariff hit country and in the current queue, don't worry, I got you.

Hey everyone, little update. I've been laid up wit

Hey everyone, little update. I've been laid up with the flu most of the last week. Before it took hold, I wound as many orders as I could to try to get ahead of the queue. Still dealing with this, still feeling like garbage and not yet able to work again.

I dug out this picture of a weird triple coil I built years ago, it was a near concept and I got a wind I really liked, but then did another rewind and it became I wind I didn't like and I stopped working on it. It looks so similar to the hum canceling single I posted recently. The triple coil was also the precursor to my MHP90 design, which combines a HSP90 coil and a mini hum coil to make a humbucker with fun splits.

Anyways, I've got an appointment tomorrow morning to try and get some meds, hopefully I can get over this crap and get back to work soon. Thanks for understanding.
