how do you do this for a blade pickups?

Mahal

is that a Wiggy?

One thing that should be mentioned. After installation and during tension rod adjustment and tightening, the guitar, at least in my case, started to pop and crack loudly as the top was being levelled. I believe this is normal, but it can be a little frightening if you're not prepared for this. BTW, results were excellent, Bravo Bridge Doctor !

Great video Scott, recently I was asked if I could do what you're describing, it was on a nice Maple 'Greg Bennet' and it sounded much better, sincere thanks 😊😊😊

Sorry Scott but did I miss the belly bulge repair section here?

Hi Scott, can this be done while a bridge is still on the body? I have an Ibanez AEG10 nylon string that has a bowed top. it is highly coated poly guitar.

Great tutorial my friend..! I have a question for you, it happens that the pickup is wider than the slot, can you give me a solution? ¿Can I enlarge the slot with a Dremel? Then the white piece will be a little loose, is that a problem? I really need help.

I got a very early Gibson p90 from an es125 that I think this is the issue. Barely any volume, but has resistance.

A crack can be repaired with wood grain sealer and applied pressure. The wood will expand with the sealer and the pressure will then force the crack closed while it dries out. I've done this on body cracks but not tried it on matched bookend sound boards.

Ridiculous instructions from the inventor. Heat it up then put it inside and finally clamp it. Why not clamp it first then heat with an electric blanket or heat lamp?

Make sound test 1st. Check magnetic strength 2nd. Perform remagnetization 3rd. Retest magnetic strength 4th. Perform sound test 5th, at the same volume level, as in the beginning. Scienctific investigation and proof.

Your voice is so whistly, like listening to a talking tea pot

U didn’t show anything🤷‍♂️ except the obvious bridge coming off and then removing that but I would think most of us understand that part , it’s the next that we want to see🤦‍♂️ that was frustrating

can we include volum botton

That's a lot of work you've done there! I went out and bought a ready made one from China and usually they are fine, when after I've fitted them before. But I've fitted one recently and the low E string is sharp at the 12th fret, how would you remedy this?

he is not a smooth and polished talker at all ... viewers will have to stay patient to hear him explain it...

terrible unclear speech, get some elocution lessons, unwatchable

string gauge affects intonation,thicker strings start to vibrate farther from the bridge and nut than thinner gauge strings do.........

At 04:27 when removing the pickup from the vice, try to never slide it, cause right there you're creating a magnetic gradient across, basically nullifying all the work you've just put in, as you're making the poles weaker as you push to one side. Try to remove it all at once, by going forward rather than sideways. I know it's hard, but it'll be worth it! Also, for a humbucker you need to be careful since the 2 coils comprising the humbucker need to be reverse-polarity, meaning that one half of the pickup should be North side up, while the other South side up. And when you expose them to a magnetic field like in this video, their proximity will make it very difficult not to demagnetize one while re-magnetizing the other.

nice guitar .. i intend to remove the matrix infinity on mine and replace it with k & k mini ..

I have a 1991 Gibson J-45 that has spent it's entire life in storage until now that is. It has a belly of about 0.060 inch if I lay a straight edge across the top just behind the bridge. From what I read people are saying this is engineered into the design. In your opinion is this true?

🔴 HELP please 🙏 I was changing Strings on my Ibanez Acoustic and the Saddle fell out. How would I know which way to place it back in because it has "Offset" points for intonation, I would guess. 😔

Love the Peavey T-60 in the background. I have an identical one passed down from my dad. He bought it new in '79

No doubt an excellent work on guitar belly reducing .

Did you wind the coil clockwise?

What would happen if I were to do this to a pickup that is not demagnetised but has very low output? I have a set of strat pickups with Alnico Rod magnets that measure 5.1-5.2 KOhm on my multimeter and they sound weak. Could this help in any way?

You sound like scott grove

Awesome. Is that a common occurrence with Epiphone Acoustic Guitars? Is it also something that happens if the guitar is in an arid climate like the desert southwest. You know, where even those little guitar humidifiers dry out in a month or so. What is the best way to prevent that from happening to a guitar that you play daily? It’s always tuned to pitch and never in a case. Should I just go ahead and install a bridge Dr and call it good? I don’t see myself moving to an area where the humidity rises above 3% any time soon, if ever.

Good lord stop this madness

What a mistake don’t cut a hole in your guitar mic pickups are better

wow thanks

Exactly what i need. Thanks!!

very helpfull👍

what piezzno name,, are using artec?

Thin line a human hair..

Thank you for your help

God's Not Dead!!!

Salve, sono passati degli anni e solo ora ho visualizzato questo video "fantastico" anch'io ho già costruito una sella ma, con il tuo video riesco a costruirlo meglio e vorrei chiederti, se dopo che monto la sella l'accordatura di 1/2 corde e ok, e l'intonazione e bassa rispetto ad altre, come posso alzare l'intonazione della corda stessa, se ormai ho già levigato e abbassato la sella, grazie

Nice job. But where did you solder the ground wire from the claw? I thought it goes to the volume pot.

Good afternoon. Excellent video. Please, I ask you to answer a few questions. How many turns of wire equals 5.83K? How many turns of wire equals 0.1K? Thank you very much for answering.

I have a Taylor 214 ce . Is it supposed to have an arch?

Your 3 videos were very helpful for any future repairs I may do. Good job!

Thx a lot

lifesaver!!!! Was able to save my guitar while touring for free with this video! One love thanks so much for making this you saved my life!

How kind of you to spend the extra time and effort to document and share this valuable knowledge. In all my years of guitarology , I wasn't aware of the JLD's existence. It looks like a truly viable addition. My sole concern is the amount of bite (or wood surface) the one countersunk screw grabs in the rosewood bridge. I may opt in favor of a non-recessed larger screw head for a more stable bite and leverage as long as it doesn't hit the bridge pins. All in all, very helpful instructions.
