Did you know P-Bass pickups are humbucking?

It's a crime that I've never wound my own P-Bass pickup before, this one will find its home in a parts build bass I'm currently acquiring the parts for.

10.8Kohm, 6.8H, alnico V

I even made MDF pressing guides to make the flatwork construction easier.

Quilt, flame, burl, spalting - whatever type of wood pattern you love, Emerald Guitars probably has it in their veneer library, adding an exotic and unique look to the top of their carbon fibre guitars.

The process of building Emerald Guitars begins with tailoring pattern cut carbon fibre fabric into moulds, layering the carbon to add strength in critical areas, before sealing the mould, and drawing resin through the fabric under vacuum.
These moulds are left overnight in a heated chamber, curing the resin, forming a hard, one piece, composite material instrument.

My latest nonsense acquisition from - Vandal V.
This #0001 prototype missed out on the QC stage, but fortunately I know my way around the tools and can get this set up for my needs.

Henry's Music is offering help and support for any dealers and small builders struggling with legal advice and cost relating to Fender's recent cease and desist letters.
They are sharing advice from their IP lawyers to help you fight your case, at their cost - whether or not you carry Henry's products.

This is an example of the collaborative community effort that makes the music industry stronger, where brands view each other as peers rather than competition.

And it sends a clear message to Fender, should they choose to over reach and abuse their power:
"We're not locked in here with you; you're locked in here with us!"

Received a cease-and-desist from Fender regarding the 'ST' body shape? If you’re a dealer facing one of these letters, you don't have to handle it alone. We have commissioned a leading German IP firm to prepare an initial response and we will cover the cost of sending it for you, even if you don't sell Henry’s. https://www.henrysmusic.com/blogs/news/project-defender
