Good price on magnets for those that make their own pickups.

Seemed like a good deal to me. http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=g16913&utm_source=Electronic+Goldmine+Newsletter&utm_campaign=f03c59fddb-September16&utm_medium=email See More

"Julian: That's my concern as well. More and more I think I'm going to just have to do this with the top loader and fasten everything together for strength. I'll likely set it up like a hollowbody wiring harness so I can get to all the…"

Mark Werner replied to JFTL's discussion 6 Stringer build Help

"I recently completed my first 6-string electric, and went for a through-the-body approach for the strings. First thing I had to do was go out and buy an extra-long drill bit, none I had were long enough! I also cut away the area where the bridge is…"

Josh Gayou (SmokehouseGuitars) replied to JFTL's discussion 6 Stringer build Help

"No problem, but a six string like this is pretty ambitious for a first time build. Still, I continually see first time builds that blow my first build way, way out of the water, so what do I know? You might be able to do that but I advise against…"
