Martin's video showcasing how he made my pickups will be posted later this week! So I've left a link to his channel in the description. Keep an eye out for it!

Thank you so much for the shout out, yes it will be posted this week, I will throw a comment here when I've posted it.

Austin, I have really enjoyed your series of videos. I am not a guitar guy but your teachings in how you solve your guitar building through the use of Fusion 360 has been inspirational. I started watching your videos in programming CAM in Fusion 360. You are an excellent teacher. Even though I am quite experienced in 3D modelling using NX for more than 20 years I found your modelling techniques in Fusion 360 to be really interesting. I know your guitar project is complete but I hope you find something new that inspires you build so that you can continue with your Fusion 360 content. Great work!!

For soldering, the more metal to heat up , the longer you have to leave the iron tip on it. Just have a little thin on the tip to create a heat bridge, wait a bit and insert the wire with additional thin.... it will solve your soldering problem. Applaying flux paste to the joint before soldering will help greatly for thin to adhere. Clean with alchool after to remove flux residue.

I wish I could like the same video multiple times. What a masterpiece !! Congrats!!

lovely guitar you have crafted.

This really is one of the coolest builds I've seen in quite awhile. And you're very kind to share knowledge along the way. Awesome 👍👍

Play sum skynyrd maaannn! This axe turned out awesome. The control cavity cover looks really nice. All that's left to do is... Start all over again with another model haha! I loved the whole process. Thank you so much, I've learned a lot.

FYI - you can make your own shielding paint with one part acrylic one part graphite (by weight)

Great looking guitar. Especially love the inlays. Can't wait to hear it play.

Thank you for this awesome guitar building journey and for bringing us along! Next video, time to play it loud!

Video 8 is missing from the playlist fyi. Great build and that guitar looks phenomenal.

This is so awesome thanks for sharing !!!

Thanks for all the great videos! ...But no one should solder through the holes on the potentiometers, it does have any benefit, it only makes it harder when you need to make repairs. Desoldering can get quite complicated and time consuming, you might even need to take more stuff apart instead of just targeting a simple solder point. Besides, you don't need that holding power on cables without any stress/movement. Just saying...

been checking your vids out! very informative i got a bit of a hunch question... what if i adjust the depth of the nut slot to fit the tusq nut in its whole size? headless build here, 100% flat freboard btw

That would be perfectly fine if it works with your design :)

Did you have any problem with string break angle at the neck due to a flat headstock with no string trees? They don't look like staggered tuners. Cheers.

What is the purpose of the conductive coating? Shielding? Thanks.

Correct :) shielding to help mitigate interference / 60 cycle hum from neigboring electronics. Though not entirely necessary with humbuckers which shift the 60 cycle hum out of phase, it still helps with general electrical noise from the surrounding area, making for a quieter noise floor of the pickups.

Quick question, not quite related to the build....Are you running the CAD/Controller packages on Parallels, seeing as you are on a Mac laptop? Or running in Boot Camp mode? Are there any Mac apps that would be useable in these situations?

Hey Tim! I am running windows 10 boot camp on my old 2013 MacBook pro. I often switch between them, but I prefer to run cncjs (my comtroller software) and fusion 360 on windows, even though both have a Mac option. I mostly use my old laptop out of convenience rather than it being a good choice for this application.

PS. One other thing....can't help wondering as the pickups are humbucking, and using shielded cable, whether it make any difference as to whether the pickup routes are shielded? I guess it won't do any harm if it is unnecessary!
