A common place to fit an amp is in the trunk or luggage compartment of your car. However, if you're driving, say, an SUV, space becomes limited and you'll need to consider mounting the amp under.
How to make a single coil guitar pickup!
This will show you how to make your own guitar pickup. It won't look or sound exactly like a regular pickup, but its a fun and interesting project.
What You'll Need:
Stuff:
-Paper
- 42 or 43 gauge copper wire (very thin)
- Six steel machine screws and nuts
- Neodymium (super strong) magnets or one long bar magnet
- Thin plastic (like that on a cd case) or Thin pieces of wood
- Wax
- Wire
- Solder
- Superglue
Tools/equipment:
-Dremel and dremel accessories
-Screwdriver
-Sewing machine (optional)
You can go out and buy all these things, but you can probably find most of them within old crap you already possess. For example, I found the copper wire in a pair of broken dog clippers. And if you don't have some of the equipment you can always improvise.
Here are some links I found useful while learning how to make my pickups:
Stew Mac--Pickup Building (especially 'Single Coil Pickup Kits')
A guy who made a humbucker.
GuitarAttack Look at Winding pickups 'Guerilla Style' to see more about the sewing machine pickup winder idea.
