Finished up this custom shop set last night, it's on its way to New Zealand now. Customer ordered a ceramic Trident 2 bridge, A5 Valkyrie neck, and wanted bold text on a black background. The pink logo was my idea and really helps set this set off, IMO. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture #fucktrump

Finished up a set for my friends in Cleveland based progressive death metal band Amalgamation. This set features a J/MM hybrid design, using A5 rod magnets, 43awg wire, 18.2k bridge and 17.3k neck. The laser etch is artwork from the band, including their logo. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture

Wrapped up this Trans Flag topped Tele bridge pickup last night. Features A5 poles, 43awg wind, and felt using white in the logo really set things off. Look out for our trans homies, they need us now more than ever. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture #fucktrump #transrights #transrightsarehumanrights

Woke up and chose equality. Gotta walk the walk and talk the talk in this day and age. Stand up for our trans homies. #elysianpickups #fucktrump #transrights #transrightsarehumanrights

Added a new multiscale listing to the website today, for the ESP LTD M-1007MS and M-1008MS models. I made the 7 string version ages ago, and recently a customer who owned the 8 string version helped me adapt my design for the 8. This set has our Trident II/Hellfire Hybrid wind. #elysianpickups

Been having 3d printer issues, most likely entirely self-inflicted, so decided to fix them once and for all. My toolchanger setup was using a sort of French clear setup to hold the toolheads when not in use, but this left a lot to be desired. I redesigned this to use bolts, vid in the next post.

Tool changes work perfectly every single time now, the tool cannot fall off, and it will always properly mount to the carriage on the gantry because the bolts offer a positive stop, pushing the toolhead down onto the carrier. This has been a total game changer. Next job is adding a 48v power supply.

Created a custom mount for a 5 string set of bass pickups I've been working on, hoping to do a demo for this later tonight. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture #bass #bassguitar #bassplayer #basssky #jazzbass #multiscalebass #multiscale #bassically #lowend #fucktrump #fuckice #transrightsarehumanrights

Finished up this walnut topped set last night, this features the Trident I/II Hybrid wind, black hex poles, ceramic bridge, and A5 neck. Ready for the weekend, I'm playing a show tonight, then seeing a show tomorrow. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture #fucktrump #fuckice #transrightsarehumanrights

What's more fun than black chrome open faced covers? Clear bobbins with black chrome open faced covers! This is a wind I don't even offer anymore, the K2A. This wind is a whopping 27k DC resistance, but pairs that super high wind with an A2 bar magnet, bringing the output down to medium levels.

This combination gives an extreme amount of clarity, perfect for when the gain starts stacking. Check out this super quick demo I put together this morning. Used Fortin Nameless X and NTS for the guitar tone, my Yamaha BB235 bass, and EZ Drummer 3 for the drums. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture

And here we go, finally. Been working on these all week, and finally finished today, thanks to some remakes. Really happy with how they came out though, and the customer is ecstatic, and that's what really matters. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture #fucktrump #abolishmaga #transrightsarehumanrights

The inverted version of this is going to be done today and it's looking very awesome.

This will be going live on my Meta accounts tomorrow. There will be fireworks. This set features my Trident II/Hellfire Hybrid wind, ceramic bridge, and A5 neck. The tops are laser cut acrylic that's been hand fitted. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture #fucktrump #abolishmaga #transrights

#ICYMI, posted a new video last night

Looking forward to playing this show in a week and a half, some awesome local bands supporting Narcotic Wasteland. Haven't played live in a while, really need to get on stage again.

Want to see how my fully custom bobbins are made? This is a time lapse video I made this morning, making a 7 string T style set. Printer is a Voron 2.4 350, parts printed in ASA, support interface material is PETG. Music is one of my songs, recorded during COVID. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture

Finished up a cool purple and red set for a friend this morning. Set features our Valkyrie wind, purple A5 bridge and red A2 neck, with black hex poles. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture #fucktrump #fuckice #transrightsarehumanrights

Couple of things I finished up first thing this morning. The white pickup is an Ibanez RGDMS8 fitment TII/Hellfire Hybrid bridge, ceramic bar magnets, gold hex, and a black filled logo. The 6 string pickup is a ceramic Trident II with nickel hex poles. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture #transrights

The next controversy 😆 Been wanting to do a meme pickup for a bit, this was the first one that came to mind, so made it happen. This pickup is a ceramic Javelin, little fire breather. Other set is a Trident II/Hellfire Hybrid, ceramic bridge and A5 neck. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture #fucktrump

What would you do for a neck pickup in this instance? I would love to do Trogdor the Burninator, but I can't figure out how to get ahold of the Homestarrunner guys, which is funny because their content was entirely built on emails.

Got a pretty classy Schecter Reaper 7MS bridge pickup fresh off the bench this morning. This has our Trident II wind, gold hex poles, and a ceramic bar magnet. Walter is such a Texas dog. During the recent heat wave here in Ohio he was still outside lounging on the deck. He loves warm weather.

Happy hump day, only two more sleeps till the weekend! Got a raw nickel set for your eyes today, this one featuring our Valkyrie wind, nickel flathead poles, and A5 bridge & A2 neck magnets. Walter is on IR right now with a bum hind paw, poor boy might be getting arthritis 🥺 #dogs #elysianpickups

LMFAO, "WEAPONS?!?!" The fuck Meta.

The last 24 hours have been absurd. Trying my best to ban all the bigots on my Facebook Page, but it's a monumental effort. The one thing I've learned from this is Instagram is way less MAGA than Facebook.

Nothing to see here, just some acrylic.

Y'all aren't going to want to miss the custom shop sets I have coming up, it's gonna be awesome. Should have something on the 4th, and then just took an order for a really cool set that should be later this month. #ElysianPickups #vagueposting #TunedAperture #fucktrump #abolishMAGA #begaydocrime

A bunch of stuff finished up the last few days. The standout here is the white set. Set features a Sentinel 7 string bridge, A5 rails, Valkyrie neck with A5 bar magnet and nickel hex poles, and matte white tops. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture #fucktrump #abolishmaga #transrightsarehumanrights

Been real busy all weekend and today, knocking out orders and getting the queue back on track. The polka dot set was a lot more difficult than I expected to make, the dots all had to be hand fitted. #elysianpickups #tunedaperture #fucktrump #fuckice #transrightsarehumanrights

Got pics of the P bass set I made last week installed in said bass, and should have demos pretty soon too! "These are the best P pickups I’ve ever played dude" per the customer, can't complain about that review!
