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

Mando the Cat helping out with the wiring ;) 181662

Hmmm.......Clive approaches the electric mandolin subject with a certain degree of enthusiasm ;

I`ve done a couple of these pickups before although quite a while ago) and have the correct patterns to create the bobbins.....It`s easy enough to rip the old innards out of the plastic cover and...

I like that idea......a camo Vee :)

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

Body is around 9.5" wide......14" scale :)

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...

Since Epiphone stopped making Mandobirds and they were so popular, here`s our take (WIP) ....180122

Small is beautiful........less distance to travel between machines......and don`t forget, we`re in the UK........A small island with far too many people and space is at a premium ;)

Sorry for any offense......here`s a flesh free link (and I think Clive`s taken my as well as the rest of your comments on board....or at least, I hope so ) ........

What`s so funny about that (unless you`re suggesting the workshop is too small) ? ;)

Thanks Mandroid.......It was the external dimensions I was after so as to capture the overall vibe (rather than making a replica).
As with most of my pickups, depth is 18mm and I use individual...

Thanks for the input (I agree totally about the sex thing.....bit odd that)!!!!!
As for hats, Clive might be persuaded but personally, I like fresh air around my turret to stop my brain overheating...

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...

A friend is making an EM200 inspired mandolin and I`ll be doing the pickup....Is there anybody who could please let me know the pickup dimensions ..... It`s quite a biggie isn`t it :whistling:

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...

Bought one very similar a while back but badged "Clearwater" . Since I had a request for some pickups, I thought it might make a useful addition to my range of upgrades........Not my best decision as...

Good point Tom....those pickups are cheap Chinese things so maybe the cover is part of the problem..... Since you`ve already had it apart, for the price, you could try one of these .....Nickel covers...

If it`s one of those covered mini humbuckers with no screw holes, you could dip the thing in shellac (French Polishing stuff), let it soak for a while and then clean the excess off the cover with...

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....

If you have some kind of recording software, then a spectrum analyser can really help to sort things by visually showing weak or dominant frequencies..... which can then be balanced out.

If the Bartolini is a humbucker, it may be a 4 wire pickup. If so, you could try it as a single coil. It looks like the wiring codes are the same as a Duncan so if you disconnect the red from white...
