Re: Yamaha SG5 /SG7 build
thanks ,no profil of sg2 or sgv (that i find to thin at first case to my tastes)
the profil is my profil ,C with first fret at 22 mm ,12 fret at 23.5 mm ,large 42 at nut a little thinner than my marauder ( 42,5 mm)and in the same range as my jazzmaster or mosrite ,no to big not to thin ,i dislike thin neck and narrow nut ,and just 0,5 mm of différence change the feel i find ,thin neck crisp my hand ,and too big i haven't the finger for (small hand)even if if i find it more confortable than ibanez or shredder neck (large ,flat and thin (D?)

Re: Yamaha SG5 /SG7 build

the 3d printing have beguin
on the right the proto bobin ,that have to mill for attach the wire (forget about this )
on the left the evo ,and the proto cover in black cause my friend have only in hand a rest of black for try and see how it works ,he order white resin and imprim the white one ( need to adjust some parameter too )but look promising ,the real thing on the left and the priting are interchangeable

Re: Yamaha SG5 /SG7 build
What if you make the pick guard a bit longer for fitting the jack? That way the pots can be spaced out further...

Re: Yamaha SG5 /SG7 build
I see the printed bobbins have different size openings for the steel. What is the purpose of that?ludobag1 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 5:51 amand the advanced technology come

Re: Yamaha SG5 /SG7 build
This is getting ridiculously cool, Ludo. I can't wait to see it finished
Those pickups look great - did you find a way to use those magnets I sent you or did you have to order some?

Good stuff Ludo.
Can you please tell me what distance (in mm) you have between the outer pole pieces (center to center) for your bridge pickup?
Thanks
