Electric guitar pickup maker out of Norton, OH, featuring the patented Tuned Aperture pickup. Veteran owned, anti-war, anti-fascist. Pickups made in the USA from global components. Will not do business with MAGA.
Put them through their paces last night and I'm super stoked on how they sound. Let a couple of buddies check them out over calls and they both loved the sound. Today, I started working on the full sized noiseless P90, as well as a full sized noisy P90 set to A/B them. This is a game changer, IMO.

I've lived in this house for over 2 years now and haven't had a functional shop, only as functional as needed to do my work, but my mom has been here helping me clean and set up and the progress has been amazing. Still have a bunch to do, but it's starting to feel far less hopeless.

I also 3d printed a mount for my 4 most used tools when building pickups. This will be mounted on the right side of the bench underneath.

Been working on improving my workspace. Added more power outlets, built a riser for my Bambulabs P1S, and moved my computer under the bench and wall mounted the monitor. Still have more work to do but it's nice to see progress.

It's WAY more pink than my camera can show in pictures.

Started flat sanding the splatter, trying to get a better result when clear coating, and found that the splatter started looking worn, and really liked it, so sanded the whole body in a similar manner. Clear coat starting soon.

Continuing on with the color, we've got a black splatter happening.

The pink looks insane. My camera can't even properly pick it up.

Decided this bass needs a pickguard. Also some more progress shots.

This HSP90 has a secret, can you spot it?
Been working on this one in the background for a while, still have some different things to try, but it's very close to launching.

With Ibanez relaunching the 540P, I keep seeing the new 540PIII and thinking damn, that'd be great as a bass. So I got in Rhino 3D, scaled and screwed to a shape I thought would work, got going. Have a spare Yamaha RBX765A I can use for hardware and a neck. Doing a 1.6" thick alder body.

Finished another Progress Flag set today. This set features my Valkyrie wind, A5 bridge magnet, A2 neck magnet, and black hex poles hidden under the cover.
These covers took me 3 hours to make today.

I saw Vik Guitars was rebranding, so I figured I'd give them a little help.
No rebrand will wipe the stank off that homophobic bigot con man.

Got pictures of a guitar I built back in 2013, the first headless I ever did. It's aging extremely well it looks like.
