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

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

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.

Elysian Pickups @elysianpickups.com · 27/08/2026

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.

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

Elysian Pickups @elysianpickups.com · 10/08/2026

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.

Elysian Pickups @elysianpickups.com · 08/08/2026

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 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

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.

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.

Elysian Pickups @elysianpickups.com · 04/07/2026

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

Set of electric guitar humbuckers featuring open faced chrome covers, acrylic tops that feature text over an American flag with a rainbow line in the middle ala thin blue line, but not fascist. The text is in black sparkle, reading "FUCK TRUMP" on one pickup and "ABOLISH MAGA" on the other.

Have a new multiscale model we can offer now. Had a customer order a set for his Schecter Reaper 7MS, only to receive the set and find out he has an Elite variant, which has more traditional pickups. He sent the pickups in so I could reverse engineer them, and I built him a new set. #elysianpickups

Here we go folx, the Progress Flag set I teased yesterday is complete This was originally going to be a Progress Flag in both positions, but customer got inspired by my Abolish ICE set While I was working on this A5/A2 Valkyrie set I realized the text could be cut from a Progress Flag, and did it.

I haven't posted in a while, but I've stayed pretty busy. This is a sneak peak, this set isn't done just yet, but it's pretty close. Customer wanted one pickup to say Fight Fascism, and I wanted to do something special for that, so I cut the letters out of a Progress flag. #fucktrump #transrights
