From Leo: I am not a pickup maker like you are. I have rewound a few, changed a bunch of magnets, changed some covers, modified some mountings, etc. I have even made pickup covers out of copper, wood and pick guard plastic. I had to do it with a drill press and a Dremel, Very time consuming and difficult to hold accuracy.. Your laser ROCKS. I am sure they hold really tight tolerances. The engraving function opens a whole new world. I am impressed. I hope a whole world of custom work opens up for you. Bravo on the new venture.
I'm literally a college educated electronics/electrical engineer, pickups are one of the main places brands absolutely screw consumers. The prices are just outrageous for what it actually is, but if people are willing to pay it and believe it has some magic voodoo sauce in it somewhere, I know better than to try to reason with them. Long before I was an engineer, I paid through the nose for many pickups and plenty of times, man was I disappointed.
Completely next level workmanship. Like the artistry in this. So cool! Great demonstration, thank you. Will be paying attention to your stuff for sure.
Dylan this is so exciting. I'm happy for you. I just picked up a CNC router and I'm looked forward to the things are I'm going to create with that. At the moment I'm on a cigar box guitar building kick. Which i don't need even power tools to build those but i do :) Have you every made the top of the box pickups they use in Cigar box guitars? Lace makes them but they are a bit pricey.
Hi Dylan! you have inspired me to start making my own pickups. I am going to be making some of my own PAFs and noticed some humbuckers use metal spacers or maple spacers in them. Do these spacers have any effect on the sound of a humbucker? Love your channel and TIA.
Make multicoil pickups (i.e., a single coil per string) that aren't hexaphonic. I've seen it for bass, with the Wal pickups, Nordstrand PolyVox, and I think the neck pickup of the Ovation Magnum. But I haven't seen it on guitar.
Can you use one of your laser cutters to stipple polymer pistol frames (and maybe engrave slides)? I mean you probably wouldn't want to do so commercially (because you'd end up needing a Type 07 FFL and all the hassles and expenses that come with that) but it would be fun for your own projects and us non-weenies in your audience would likely enjoy seeing a DTT branded Glock or something :D
Uh oh, the biggest product to scam guitarists ever is pickups lol. This is why people lecture me while I'm literally an electronics engineer that invented a completely new type of passive pickup. If they're willing to pay it, I won't argue it but the prices on this particular component dear lord....
In my opinion you are matrixed by the uggly fashion of car’s tuning and which has nothing to do with our musical instruments. This is a 20 century view... What's the point of these energy-guzzling developments, for simple aesthetic reasons whose end result is highly debatable ? Nothing. I much prefer to do something by myself, using handmade technics and materials such as wood, which will be more visually creative, etc. It will take much more time, but this will stay for much long because this will be made by myself. Also this will cost nothing to the Earth in comparison to this bad things. And too much steel for nothing at all in addition to that (heavy guitars). Bad
Well, to your point, I’m from the future. There isn’t a number to give you; it’s way beyond that. Have you been to Rigel, sector 89.3? Obviously not or some or all of your conclusions would be just click noises. Looking back to your future when what will be already is.
@@johngeddes7894 I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in talking to people who are simpletons and like to remain in denial, or if it makes me wonder if they're psychiatric cases. If only you had something serious to tell me... I can understand that we don't have the same tastes, for example. Except that here : you're just showing your hostility and rudeness of mind, without any kind of more intelligent argument to present.

How about a hollow/ semi hollow body with no top wood and do it with carbon fiber. Back load electronics. Would be an interesting idea.

Save the little round bits that get cut out for the pole pieces and use them for position markers on the fret board.
Cool that you sell your flat work too.
I’m usually not a big fan of patterns on pickups but those look really cool! Makes me want to put together another guitar just to use them.
do different metals/matrials change the sound? Could you 3d print one?
AMAZING
when will you sell those pickups with "custom" options?
Now. They are on the website
we should have come a long way from the Canon bubble jet days
Looks great! Good for you!

Yes
Very cool and very inspiring!!!
Acrylic Tele control plates and matching pick guards, Truss rod covers?
Yep. Done.
Way cool video !
Super cool!

Wow, that's excellent. :)

I mean… it must suck to be so wrong… but if that is what you are into …..
Its about the negative comment above, not you.
