New experiment just went live.
Watch it here: [link]

I built two identical pickups - one with magnets, one without, and mounted them in the same guitar to test a theory about how pickups actually work.

The result is… interesting.

This one’s short and punchy, but I think it raises some important questions about magnet types and how we talk about tone.

Eight legendary buffers. One 100-metre cable load.
I wanted to find out which Buffers could handle the challenge!

The results were honestly surprising

This showed up in the workshop recently, a very cool custom build I’ve been calling the Tesla Cyber Guitar.

It had an interesting electronics issue, and I filmed the repair because it was such a cool guitar to work on.

The repair video is now available for Workbench members.

If you’d like to see how the electronics work was done, the video’s there whenever you want to check it out.

After all the comments on the last video, I went back to the bench and tried a few of the ideas you suggested:

First up: removing only the bass-side screws.
I gave it a proper go… and it turns out I wasn’t a huge fan.

I also pushed things further with a more experimental Ninja-Tronic 2.0 version, using a custom pole-piece setup.

Some genuinely interesting results depending on how far you take it.

This follow-up video is available now for Workbench members if you’re curious to see where it ends up.
