Greetings..... a quick "heads up"......

Following my retirement last year, I passed on my recipes and winder to Chris at Belvoir Guitars and he is now confident enough to offer them for sale...

Made thousands of pickups with neo magnets and never had issues with strings being pulled out of tune (need damn big N52s to overcome mandolin tension) ;)

Yup! My guess is that something really small could make a big difference........maybe try a 5mmX1mm........ Cheap enough (ebay) so no harm trying.
Basically, the string is the magnet and compared to...

Have you had a look under the pickup? ...... If those poles are rod magnets, then you may be able to tweak the balance by adding small Neodymium discs.
If they have a bar magnet underneath, then...

Hmmmmm.......Favourite builds?..... probably Tom`s SG, a mini "Red Special" complete with the six switches (that was fun to wire up) and the "Barney Bo" (such a whacky shape and fun to...

Due to increasing hand problems, I regret that Almuse has ceased trading.....I should have been more careful when building instruments but hey ho! ..... had a good run!

Firstly, I`d like to thank...

Jonathan and Hayes interview Pete and Chris (Almuse/Belmuse)

He`s done two at the same time, one single pickup and one with the dual pickups.

Hey Roger, nothing wrong with the original with a couple of tweaks.
In my experience, the neck angle as standard is wrong so the bridge is usually as low as it will go and often the action is too...

Celtic Jazz/Folk fusion from Seville.....

Chris decided to have a go at airbrushing...... I`m not sure I believe it`s his first attempt :) 183269

A beaut bit of bookmatched maple and a subtle burst......I think Chris is getting the hang of it ;) 181860

Also in the works..............An Iceman and a Sherman Tank:)

Well Jim, the regular 4 string `bird is looking promising....can`t wait to crank it up - all three pickups are coil tapped with individual push/pull pots and a 5 position Strat switch......I`m...

Sorry if this contravenes the rules........just want to get our work out there .... For a few years as regulars are aware, I`ve made emandos and pickups but of late, have had to retire due to...

Hopefully you have now had a reply Mandrian.....If not maybe your settings are wonky........and sad to say, this also applies to my `pooter when customers purchase pickups from my website and I`m not...

P.S.
Clive`s first project to see how it goes..... but I`m afraid he has a bit of a Les Paulish fixation ;) ...... build updates on his Facebook page ...

Pete Malinson of Almuse, who may reply on his own behalf, has given his gear to the...

I agree about shielding....... If the coil is easily removable from the cover, lining the cover with copper snail tape and soldering a tag to the output ground wire will make a heck of a difference....

I`d guess it would need a bit of work.....
Since there are no adjustable saddles, finding the right string gauges for proper intonation could be fun.
Also, with a lipstick pickup so close to the...

Wrong....a common misconception. There are quite a few types of stainless steel, the two main types being Ferritic and Austenitic. Ferritic works, Austenitic doesn`t (which is why string makers use...

Ahhh....the old weak E problem.........someone mentioned my pickups further up the thread so I`ll leave it there.
Re. strings, to get a decent break angle and adjustability with those compensated...

These work wonderfully and run off a 9v battery.....just make sure you counterbalance the trigger magnet otherwise you`ll have a lot of wobbliness ;) ...

Might seem crazy but if you`re dipping your toe in the water, those ready made winders are really expensive..... I built a winder using a model aeroplane rubber winder ...

Central bar like a 335, hollow at the sides. Wanted to make sure it didn`t feed back - Mickety`s band are NOISY :)
