Hey Wayfinder, I hope you know that people on here appreciate what you do, and the work that you have put into the products that you make. This particular hobby can't grow without people like you.
Trademarks protect the identity of a product and producer
Patents protect a novel/unique design of a specific "thing" that is either the first of its kind or more innovative than an "expected evolution of the existing art"
Trade Secrets and Intellectual Property rights are legally respected protections of undocumented processes/procedures/materials/etc that are essential to the uniqueness of the patented item's production.
Copyrights protect the expression of an intangible idea (a story is the ideas contained in the writing, not the media it is published upon).
you'll be pleased to know joe's has stopped making them I ask him how much etc and this is his reply
Hi John,
Sorry but I don't make flatpick ups any more because I'm very busy with guitar building and woodworking.
Thats why I made the tutorial . Cheers,Joës
I don't see flatpup in there do you?
honestly I don't know what all the fuss about one video its not even a complete from start to finish.
some of you need to grow up,nobody is infringing on anybody so called rights because there is no rights. this has rear its ugly head in the past and Ben had to step in and the way things are going ..........
Cool story. Many years ago a CBN/Clubhouse member really wanted to know how I made my pickups - EVERY DETAIL. He (and his bandmate) travelled almost 2 hours to my shop and still pestered me, after a cool jam. I relented and made one from scratch for him.
Shortly after, he was online boasting that he knew the secret to my pickups and had some for sale cheaper than me, and even posted a pic of one on a copy of a copper pipe git he saw me building in my shop.
Little did he know, I suspected as much and I told him all the wrong specs - wire size, number of winds, what I wrapped around the magnets, potting and even tension on my winds.
He's not around anymore
«Troll away. But do so by yourself, 'cos I'm done replying to you»: there's a simple solution to save your day: shut up, Knight of the Coconut!
come on guy's.
I find these pissing matches so negative and pathetic, like seriously, people! None of this is rocket science, none of it is revolutionary, and none of it is worth even worrying about. I hate to break it to you, but it's kind of like looking back in time and watching cavemen arguing over someones right to a flint napping technique. You don't see arguments on spilled secrets to creating a great resonator cone, or different neck attachment techniques,, it's always about the freakin' pickups!!!! How can people be so supportive of the rest of the building process but when it comes to pickups it's such a freakin' soap opera!
Rant done!
Happy New Year, everybody :D

On the one hand we have the desire as a group to dig in and find out how it works, share the knowledge, as evidenced by the EXTENSIVE thread on the induction pickup.
On the other hand we have a feeling of family and protectiveness toward each other, and that covers the folks that achieve making some decent coin at selling their wares, wanting to protect their profitability.
We all tend to browse our esteemed sponsor's online shop for parts first before looking elsewhere if needs.
Its a bit of a trick to find the comfortable path between the two, sharing as much as we can but still supporting those who sell i.e. we chat a lot about how to build for ourselves what gitty sells already built.
