What's on your work bench?

What is everyone's favourite super glue? Of the easily available ones I quite like the Loctite liquid ones, although have had some Zap CA glue from a model shop years ago that was a great performer.

The stuff from the $2 shop that comes in the plastic bottles (not the tubes). It works as well as anything else.

Yep it glues my fingers to whatever I'm using it on just as well as the expensive brands.

The pickup train rolls on and on. I had a request for a strat set from a nice dude down in Blenheim, he wanted a hotter bridge and more vintage style middle and neck. Handily this is the exact same thing that I like and also the style I have in my strat but whereas mine has alnico 2, he wanted alnico 5 for a bit more sizzle.

The ink doesn't like being potted.

That's a 10.3k bridge, 5.7k middle, and 5.9k neck. All with a healthy dose of scatter, and I use lacquer to protect the naked start and end wires as the whole pickup depends on that micro wire being intact so why not protect it from snags and errant soldering irons. The middle has different coloured leads for easier ID and it's RWRP so it plays nice.

I wanted to use these covers for something, so wound a set of 12 pole humbuckers. There's an added bonus of not only the adjustability, but the 2x spacers means more inductance which means more output which means more chug. I wanted something different with the covers than just shiny shiny blingy bling. The 12 poles made me think of something industrial, military, tracked vehicles and bulkheads, so i called them the Warmonger set.



Bridge is 14k, a5, scatter wound and asymettrical coils.

Neck is 10.1k, a5, scatter wound and asymettrical coils but is a hybrid pickup. A what? That means you use 2 different coils from different pickups and combine them. For example, SD make one which is one coil from a '59 and the other from a JB. I've done the same thing here, but with better coils come better pickups. The DCR doesn't tell the story, this will be quite a special thing.

Good fun, pickups.

Mahogany Strat body, Routed HSH for pickup versatility, Just need to do the tummy contour then I will weigh it, not too heavy though

If I had something to put them in I'd love to spec a Strat set. I'll have to buy another guitar.

Finally got around to building a second pedalboard for my wahs and volume and expression pedal, need to sand it and then polyurethane it and chuck on the velcro, used some 18mm ply I had lying about, only thing its cost me is a can of polyurethane as I have a metric ton of the furry side of velcro

Thanks! Yup, used almost a whole can of spray, but should make it pretty hardy

He uses them at the exact opposite of each other, at the same time, with both feet, to keep the tone the same
